Lionel
Messi has without doubt been the best player in the world for 2015 but his
magic run out last Friday as he and his Barcelona teammates were humbled by
Athletic Bilbao on Friday nights.
It
seems Friday nights would be preferred by the San Mames side when they face FC
Barcelona every now and then. Aritz Aduriz having plied his trade mostly in La
Liga for a short period of time with Real Mallorca has seen the move he made
again to Bilbao prove necessary and important in cementing his name in the
history books of the club.
If
everything goes on right for the Red and Black outfit they would be good to go
and win a silverware in as many years. It's strange that with the sales of Javi
Martines to Bayern Munich and Ander Herrera to Manchester United, Bilbao still
possess enough prowess in midfield to silence arguably the best midfield in
Europe that easily links the best attacking trio in world football.

Two
matches are not the same as Athletic Bilbao were beaten by Barcelona in the
Copa Del Rey final which saw them gained a spot to play in the Super Coppa they
now lead 4-0. They have won but would have to do more in order to silence the
Camp Nou. People have gone there and lost, hopefully the nightmares of Milan
who won 2-0 in the champions league first leg in 2013 would not befall on them.
The
whole world would be watching but Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and the others
would not allow the trophy to elude them and throw into the shade what most
pundits in the world of the beautiful game considered a trophy laden season
where they would repeat the historic six trophies a season.
Beware
Athletic Bilbao the next 90 minutes would show the world you are deserved
champions of the SuperCoppa or the first leg showings were just luck and the
match won on mere mistakes because Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Andres Iniesta
would be watching to put you away and add to their trophy.
