Luis Enrique and his boys were not going to let it happen once again. The last time they saw the League leaders Real Madrid drop points, they returned the favour by losing their match also. Luis Enrique had to receive a fair share of criticism for the strategy employed in that match against Celta at the Camp Nou. But everyone knew that he wasn't going to take any chance this time around. The result, a convincing 5-2 victory against Athletic Bilbao at one of the most difficult stadium in La Liga, especially for Barca. A visit to San Mames does not make Barca fans comfortable, actually it throws them around emotionally. This time around there was no such thing. The team was clinical from the start. When Athletic Bilbao started to make a match of the game, the team responded immediately shutting them down and retaining a bigger lead. With this victory Barca has closed down the lead on top to just one point. Real Madrid may still be on top of the league, but Barca very much have their destiny in their own hands.

Lionel Messi for once was below par, but still was way better than many on the ground. May be that's a mark of his genius that even when he is having an average day, he was so decisive. His goal which opened the scoring was from a deflected free kick. But his involvement in goal of Saurez (which was more or less an brilliant individual strike), the assist to Neymar and the opening the space for the Pedro goal showed how important he is even when he is not scoring goals. It was great to see Saurez scoring with a brilliant strike and even more was Pedro's finish at the end of a brilliant team play.
