Raphinha’s first-half strike was enough to see Barcelona edge out Athletic Bilbao in a tight encounter in La Liga at San Mames. Xavi’s side continue to close in on a first Spanish title since 2018/19 and this was a hard-fought and crucial victory in their pursuit of domestic glory this season. Athletic threw bodies forward in search of an equaliser late on, but they could not muster a response.
