Athletic Bilbao 1 - 3 Barcelona(0-1) 54' Keita, (0-2) 73' Xavi, (1-2) 90' Gabilondo, (1-3) 92' Busquets
After their lacklustre win over Sporting at home midweek, all the talk in the Spanish press had
been about
Barcelonas 'Messidependencia'. When you think about it, which team
wouldn't depend on a player like Messi?
In Barcelona's last match against Athletic Bilbao, Villa was shown a red-card that will now see
him miss the Catalan's club next game.
After having been brought down by Bilbao defender, Carlos Gurpegi, Villa let his emotions take
over him and reacted. Following the challenge, Villa punched the defender as he was walking away in
which did not go unseen.
