Luis Suarez and Rafinha both hit the woodwork for Barca, but the visitors struggled to impress despite fielding new £107m signing Antoine Griezmann and winter signing, Frenkie De Jong.

Aduriz, who has announced that he is retiring after this season, threw himself into the air and acrobatically volleyed past Marc-Andre ter Stegen to earn Athletic Bilbao a first league win over Barcelona since 2013.
