FC Barcelona take their title defense on the road tomorrow, as they prepare for one of the toughest matches on the La Liga calendar – an away trip to San Mames to take on Athletic Bilbao. As any who has ventured to the region will know, a visit to the Basque Country is generally quite an incredible and fun experience – the food is great, the wine is excellent and oh, yeah, the football teams are incredibly tough to beat.
The mere mention of the word "Anoeta" is enough to send chills down the spine of any true Culé, and while our record at the San Mames is somewhat better, we know we are always in for a difficult night when this fixture comes around on the calendar.
