Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Barcelonas match against Athletic Bilbao.

FULL TIME. Goals from Iniesta and Messi ensure Barcelona are still six points behind Madrid with eight games remaining of the season.

We will have two minutes of added time.

Iraizoz makes another save to deny Pedro after he unleashes from the edge of the box.

Messi does superbly well to hold onto the ball under attack in the box and shifts it to Keita, who rattles the bar with a thumping effort.

Barcelona have only had 54 per cent possession. That isn't all that much for them which tells you Bilbao have played well, even if they haven't had the chances to show for it.

Thiago with an outrageous, Ronaldinho-esque piece of control as he kills the ball dead after it drops out of the air. Sensational.

Thiago looks frustrated as a pass rolls out play. You don't often see that at Barcelona.

A change for Barca as Seydou Keita replaces Sanchez.

Lovely from Muniain. He nutmegs Busquets and then chips a ball out to Susaeta, who has an effort blocked by Pique.

Off the line! Barca haven't had to do too much defending but after Muniain gets in behind the Barca defence and rolls the ball past Valdes, Pique stretches out a leg to prevent it going in.

Messi tries to thread a pass through to Dani Alves but the ball is deflected behind for a corner to Barca. Nothing comes of it though.

Goalscorer Iniesta makes way and is replaced by a certain Xavi. Only the greatest midfielder in the history of Spanish football.

A classic run from Messi as he drifts across the face of the goal but his low effort back across Iraizoz doesn't have enough on it to beat the keeper.

Muniain loses possession in the final third and Barcelona start passing in triangles again.

Barca look very comfortable now. Bilbao's changes have failed to have any appreciable impact on the match.

Messi takes the corner and finds Pique in acres of space, but he executes his header badly as the ball reaches Iraizoz after bouncing meekly into the turf.

A shot from Busquets takes a big deflection but Iraizoz corrects his movement and can tip the ball over the bar.

Busquets booked for handball.

Sexy football from Barca. Messi is first denied by a fine challenge from Ekiza before Thiago and Iniesta combine, only for the former to fail to get a clean shot away.

Pedro with a sumptuous flick to find Iniesta but the backheel from his team-mate is poor.
