Match Reviews:
FC Barcelona will be planning to kick-begin their La Liga title resistance with a win tomorrow when they go to the Basque Country for the second time this season to tackle Athletic Bilbao at San Mames. Obviously, the Blaugrana won't have glad recollections of their past trek; it was their first match on Spanish soil this battle and hot off the heels of being delegated UEFA Super Cup champs, Barça were completely mortified and played off the recreation center by their Basque partners.
A miracle objective from Mikel San Jose and a cap trap from Aritz Adutriz secured an insistent 4-0 triumph for Ernesto Valverde's flatware starved side; a win that at last turned out to be sufficient to end their three decade long trophy dry season. Barcelona battled valiantly in the second-leg, however they couldn't topple the shortage. Hell, they couldn't even retaliate for the misfortune as they faltered over the line to enroll a 1-1 draw.

Then again, Barcelona quite often begin the season well; the last time they neglected to win the opening match of the La Liga season was in 2008 under Pep Guardiola – that is six wins on the skip from that point forward. Will they extend that streak to seven tomorrow? I can hardly wait to figure o
