Athletic Club started their La Liga season in the best way possible on Friday night, beating reigning champions Barcelona thanks to a stunning strike from Aritz Aduriz.
Athletic had two big opportunities to take the lead early on, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen denied Inaki Williams on both occasions. The first was a wonderful save from Williams' powerful long shot, before ter Stegen got down quickly to push away his shot from inside the box.
Barcelona could've taken the lead soon after when a woeful backpass fell straight to Luis Suarez, but the Uruguayan couldn't capitalise, as he turned and smacked the post before coming off injured moments later.
