LaLiga: Messi and Griezman fold Bilbao

Leo Messi showed that he was not under the media pressure resulting from the revelations about his "pharaonic" contract and scored in the 2-1 that allowed Barcelona to beat Athletic Bilbao and catch Real Madrid in second place in La Liga, at 40 points, 10 under Atletico Madrid. With a masterful free-kick the Argentine opened the scoring on 20 '. Then Antoine Griezmann pushed Oscar Mingueza's suggestion (75 ') into the net to seal the Catalan success, while an own goal by Jordi Alba had allowed the Basques to equalize (49'). So, squeezed into a corner by the Spanish press today, after the publication of the astronomical figure of his contract (more than 555 million euros in four years), Messi responded on the field.
