Barcelona will head into El Clasico next weekend in second place
in the Primera Division after being held to a 1-1 draw at Athletic
Bilbao.
Pep Guardiola's side kicked off the clash at San Mames having relinquished
top spot to Real Madrid, who beat Racing Santander 1-0 earlier on
Saturday night.
The Spanish and European champions looked on course to reclaim
their place at the summit when Dani Alves opened the scoring in
the 54th minute, but substitute Gaizka Toquero levelled matters
nine minutes later and Athletic held on for a point.
