After losing the points to Real Madrid, Barcelona was hosted by Athletic Bilbao this evening (Sunday) when they could narrow the gap from the top, but only finished with 0:0. If that wasn’t enough, Frankie de Jong and Pedri were injured and had to leave the field early on. The game, like all Spanish league games, was broadcast on channel ONE for HOT subscribers, yes subscribers, Cellcom TV and Partner TV.

The Catalans actually controlled the pace at the start of the match, but in the 23rd minute De Jong twisted his ankle and from there everything changed for Xavi’s team. Bilbao slowly got into things, but were unable to significantly threaten Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s goal.

Just before going down for the break, Pedri made a bad move and went down in tears from the turf. The lack in Barcelona’s midfield was very noticeable in the second half, when both teams were not at their best and failed to get too many opportunities en route to a 0:0 at the end.
