Athletic Bilbao coach Marcelo Bielsa has admitted that his side were lucky to win against Valencia at San Mames on Sunday.

Iker Muniain's second-half strike proved enough for the Basque giants to register a 1-0 victory over Los Che in La Liga.

"The superiority of the opponents was above anything we have done," Bielsa told reporters.

"The second half was the opposite of what we wanted to happen. I think the result is perhaps exaggerated."

Bilbao are currently 14th in La Liga with 32 points from 27 matches.
