Athletic Club Bilbao broke Barcelona undefeated record

Posted on December 2, 2013 by SoccerPunter

Barcelona slump to its first defeat in Spain Primera División 2013/2014 after Muniain scored the winning goal for Athletic Club Bilbao.

Athletic Bilbao climb to fourth place of La Liga table after this impressive victory over the reigning Champions. It is an achievement considering they finished the competition at twelve place last season.

If you have analyzed the H2H stats for this match, you should know that Athletic Bilbao have an amazing home record. To-date, they played eight matches at their stadium San Mamés Barria and never lost any of them.

Barcelona have struggled and lost two consecutive matches in a week without Lionel Messi. Clearly, it shows that Barcelona have a problem in scoring goals and Messi is irreplaceable.

The La Liga title race is now wide open, Barcelona have the same points as Atlético Madrid in second place. Real Madrid is only three points behind at third place. The table ranking could change drastically before Christmas.
