Lionel Messi and Paulinho score as Barcelona maintain their unbeaten start to the La Liga season.

Thanks for joining me.

Benat's arrowing shot hits Barca midfielder Ivan Rakitic on the back side.

Ah yes, Lionel Messi is still on the pitch.

The Argentine strikes a free-kick from 30 yards out which floats over the crossbar.

THREE minutes of added time to be played.

Can Bilbao find an equaliser?

Barca have barely had a sniff of the Bilbao goal in the second half.

Is Lionel Messi still playing??

A corner comes in to the front post and the towering Aritz Aduriz flicks a header towards the front post.

It is creeping in, but Barca goalkeeper Marc Andre ter-Stegen dives full length to his left to palm the ball out.

Super stop and one that may well give Barca the three points.

Changes for each side.

Andre Gomes comes off and the sprightly Nelson Semedo comes on.

Markel Susaeta replaces the impressive Inaki Williams for Bilbao.

Seven minutes to go.

Barca hanging on.

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti takes a few too many seconds to take a free-kick and the ref has enough.

He comes over and awards the Frenchman a yellow card.

Umtiti then applauds the decision in a sarcastic manner.

Careful Sammy.

Into the last 10 minutes...

Bilbao have huffed and puffed but been unable to blow the Barca door down.

Athletic Bilbao do finally call Marc Andre ter-Stegen into a save, but Aritz Aduriz's low shot is easy for the German.

Inaki Williams' crossing has been excellent today and he finds Inigo Cordoba again with a searching cross, but the Athletic Bilbao youngster hooks a first-time volley over the crossbar from a tight angle.

Another shot, another that fails to call Marc Andre ter-Stegen into action.

Substitute Benat the latest to drag an effort wide from long range.

Poor.

Barca's Paulinho the next man in the book for a late challenge.

Wasted once again by Bilbao.

Andre Gomes gives the ball away to Raul Garcia 30 yards out, but the former Atletico Madrid man's low shot does not work Marc Andre ter-Stegen.

Bilbao have pushed all half to try and restore parity but it just not coming off for them in the final third.

This time the pacy Inaki Williams runs down the right and crosses to the back post for Inigo Cordoba, but his acrobatic effort is sliced wide.

Into the last 20 minutes.

What a ball.

Ander Iturraspe with a delightful cross into the box but it evades everyone and drifts wide of the far post.

Barcelona into for a second as Luis Suarez breaks clear into the box and lets fly with a rocket of a shot, but once again it is that man Unai Nunez who blocks the goalbound effort.

Nunez has played extremely well since taking that knock to the head.

Inaki Williams makes shuffles the ball to the right to make space for himself inside the box, but his low shot is straight at Barca goalkeeper Marc Andre ter-Stegen

Me? Asks Gerard Pique.

Yes you.

The Barcelona man is beaten to the ball by Atletico Bilbao's veteran striker Aritz Aduriz and is taken out.

The referee strides across and awards a yellow card. Pique cannot understand why.

Nothing wrong with Unai Nunez, displaying superb anticipation to slide across when Andre Gomes is about to tuck a finish into the net.

Great defending.
