Bilbao are defending mightily impressive it has to be said.
General football 2015/16
Pique
Piqué sent off for dissent Harsh decision, yellow would have been enough, also Piqué was right about the linesman making a very bad call
was it a straight red? (just tuned in)
Game even better now, great to watch
Yeah it was a straight red
Has Ter Stegen been dropped for his horror show last week?
He's the usual cup keeper so probably. Good chance to watch two promising youngsters in El Haddadi and Ramirez
Tie over, Aduriz scores again
5-1 to Bilbao is a fucking breath taking scoreline, much bigger achievement than Bayern's 7-0 a few years ago.
No it isn't, Barca is in pre season with players who are spent from a long season / summer.
The 7-0 was mid season when Barca should have been close to their peak (for the season).
I feel dirty defending Barca
Bilbao about to win their first trophy in 31 years

Nonsense, 7-0 was Barcelona at their lowest missing both Messi and Busquets. The team they've fielded in both legs of this tie is leagues above the one that went out to Bayern.
Hmmmm, sorry wasn't aware Messi was missing.
No Busquets today though.
It's nowhere near being as significant as the defeat to Bayern.
I didn't talk about significance, CL semis being more important than the Supercopa is rather obvious. It's still a bigger achievement, Bilbao don't have nowhere near Bayern's resources and are beating a much stronger side than the 2013 one. Extremely impressive both in defence and attack.
Busquets is on the pitch btw.
I've got a soft spot for Bilbao - been to the old San Mames a couple of times.
Great supporters.
Damn auto correct.
It just seems wrong for Messi to have that awful sleeve tattoo.
Doesn't suit his haircut.
