Barcelona have a 3-0 half-time lead over Athletic Bilbao in tonight's La Liga encounter at the Camp Nou.

The hosts took the lead in the 22nd minute when Gerard Pique fired in the rebound from six yards after Cesc Fabregas's initial effort had been saved from a corner.
They doubled their advantage just minutes later as Fernando Amorebieta could only hack Lionel Messi's goal-bound effort into his own net.
It was 3-0 in the final moments of the first half through Adriano's powerful finish.
