Messi Comes To Barcelona Rescue Again
Barcelona restored their five-point advantage over Real Madrid CF thanks to a 2-1 win against Athletic Bilbao.
Beaten in midweek by Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie, Barcelona took only four minutes to settle back into their stride at the Camp Nou. David Villa provided the finish, and although Athletic levelled five minutes after half-time through Andoni Iraola's penalty, Lionel Messi made the difference with his 25th league goal this season 12 minutes before the end.
