Barcelona 2 Athletic Club 0: Messi and Alcacer on the score sheet.
Lionel Messi scored for the sixth game in succession as Barcelona moved 11 points clear atop LaLiga thanks to a routine 2-0 win over Athletic Club.
The leaders were missing the injured Sergio Busquets and the suspended Luis Suarez at Camp Nou but they had few issues in brushing aside Ernesto Valverde’s former club to move further ahead of Atletico Madrid, who visit Villarreal later on Sunday.
Victory capped another impressive week for the Catalan giants, who knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League on Wednesday to set up a quarter-final against Roma, and this straight forward success moved them a step closer to regaining the domestic crown from fierce rivals Real Madrid.
Catalans dominated the whole game as Bilbao struggled to test Ter-Stegen for the whole game as Barca cruised to a win that extends their unbeaten run in LaLiga to 36 matches.
