The match between FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao took a significant turn in the 70th minute when Iker Muniain scored, giving Bilbao the lead. If the score were to remain the same until the end of the match, it would have important implications for the La Liga championship race.
With Barcelona sitting at 40 points, they would be level with Atlético Madrid at the top of the table. This potential shift comes after a strong performance by Real Madrid the previous night. Real Madrid, trailing by three points, would be well within striking distance.
The absence of Lionel Messi due to injury has raised concerns about Barcelona’s performance. Messi’s prolonged absence may indeed have an impact on the team, and the outcome of matches during this period could influence Barcelona’s standing in the championship. The title race in La Liga seems to be heating up, adding excitement and unpredictability to the competition.
