I was thinking Barcelona will have an easy win.
The defeat was not expected, but San Memes is not a turf where you go expecting easy victories, Athlectic Bilbao are a brilliant side who can hurt any opponent if they get the chance. Batca played much below par.
Are there no great young players on Barca squad? Why not promote them instead of looking for players to buy?
Sometimes I wonder why these clubs have their young squad or school if they never use the players in the end.
There's Puig, Oriel, Alena who are promising young talents. But the board has not been as efficient in managing young talents as it did a decade ago. Xavi Simon's was lost to PSG recently and others as well. The team now wants to buy talent rather than build.
