Match Report
Barcelona restored their nine point advantage at the top of La Liga with a hard fought 1-0 win over Atletico Bilbao.
Former Leeds winger Raphinha was the match winner for the league leaders, lashing the ball home in first half stoppage time.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but VAR reversed the decision after replays showed it was Ferran Torres in an offside position and not the Brazilian.
The strike was enough to see Xavi's men secure all three points, despite a lack flurry from the home side that saw Inaki Williams hit the post and have a late goal ruled out by VAR.
