The Athletic Club vs Barcelona fixture was a tough game, but the Blaugrana ran out with a narrow win….
Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala has taken a playful jab at Real Madrid following Barcelona's narrow 1-0 victory over Athletic Club, Soccernet.ng reports.
The race for the La Liga title is getting tughter as the season enters its home stretch. This year, the script remains familiar, with the usual suspects—Barcelona and Real Madrid—slugging it out at the summit.
On Friday, Real Madrid kept the pressure on with a dramatic stoppage-time winner from Federico Valverde to defeat Celta Vigo 2-1.
That victory momentarily closed the gap to Barcelona to just one point, shifting the spotlight to the Blaugrana’s trip to San Mamés on Saturday.
Athletic Club are notoriously difficult opponents, and the match proved to be a grueling affair. However, Barcelona managed to eke out a vital 1-0 win thanks to a moment of magic from their teenage sensation, Lamine Yamal.
The young star sealed the points after latching onto a sublime pass from Pedri on the right wing. Cutting inside on his favored left foot, Yamal danced into the box and unleashed a trademark curling effort that left Unai Simón helpless.
While Bilbao created several clear-cut chances, they lacked a clinical edge in the final third and ultimately finished empty-handed.
The result restores Barcelona’s four-point lead at the top of the table with just 11 games remaining in the campaign.

Following the final whistle, Nigerian football legend Asisat Oshoala took to social media to taunt Barcelona’s eternal rivals Real Madrid.

Oshoala is widely regarded as one of the greatest talents to ever emerge from Africa—a status cemented by her record-breaking six CAF Women's Player of the Year awards.
While she continues her journey abroad, her heart clearly remains in Catalonia as she cheers her former side toward another league title.
