Barcelona will look to cement its place at the top of La Liga on Saturday as the team takes on Athletic Club, which will seek to keep in touch with its European qualification rivals. Both teams come into the clash looking to bounce back after suffering midweek Copa del Rey disappointments, with Barca just falling short of pulling off a comeback for the ages against Atletico Madrid in their semifinal second leg, and Athletic Club going out with a narrow 2-0 aggregate defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad. The reverse fixture at the newly reopened Camp Nou back in November saw Barca trounce Bilbao 4-0 in a match which saw Ferran Torres bag a brace.
Athletic Club takes on Barcelona at San Mamés Stadium on Saturday, March 7. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time, which is 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, 8 p.m. GMT in the UK and 7 a.m. AEDT in Australia on Sunday morning.
A double strike from midfielder Marc Bernal could not prevent Barcelona from suffering a Copa del Rey semifinal exit at the hands of Athletic Madrid on Tuesday.
