Barcelona. Saturday, 03.04.2010 20:00
Things don’t come much more historic than FC Barcelona against Athletic Club Bilbao. These are two of just three teams that have never been relegated from the top tier of Spanish football and between them have 47 cup and 27 league titles. And there’s a special bond between the two sides, for if Barça are the symbols of the Catalan separatist identity, then if anything Bilbao are even more so for the Basque Country. But while Barça proudly display their plethora of European, African and Latin American superstars, the ‘Lions’, even in this international day and age, still insist on only using players born or raised in the Basque Country.
