Barcelona won their second match of La Liga 1-0 against Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona didn't looks at his best as Arda, Suarez and even Messi fails to convert chances into goal. The match looks way below Barca's standard. The only goal of the match came in 21st minute when Rakitic heads Arda's cross into the net. With this goal Rakitic also opens his account for Barcelona's goal and also handed Luis Enrique his 100th win as Barcelona coach in the quickest ever time.
Messi wasn't at his best against Bilbao but still managed to create multiple chances. On the other hand, Athletic came very close to scoring many times but Ter-stegen effort restricts them. Infact Athletic had more shots on goal than Barcelona.
But, anyway, Barcelona defends their one goal lead throughout the match and starts their perfect start by winning both the matches of la liga. Real madrid also won both the match but Atletico madrid lose some round after being drawn 0-0 against Legane earning just 2 points in two matches.
After the match Luis enrique expressed his discontent over the amount of mistake committed
In his post match conference he says, " The rhythm of the game was feverish which is unusual in this stage of the league. We always knew Athletic were going to press up high but we did overcame their pressing everytime and that's when that spectacular goal from Rakitic came from."
"We would like to close the game with more goals on board as we creates many chances but couldn't take advantage off. But we are very happy going home with all the three points. This point is well deserved."
It takes Guardiola 139 matches to win 100 whereas Luis Enrique did it in just 126 matches. Now that stat would be some heads up to other teams..
