Goal. U.S. Home U.S. News U.S. English Premier League (EPL)USA - Major League SoccerUEFA Champions League1. The Catalans needed a monumental effort to come from a goal down and claim all three points after what was a difficult week for the club and may just have found their next coach. Luck had evaded it for more than an hour. Interred in a negative dynamic following a 10-day period which had seen its season turned to shreds, Barcelona finally found an answer when it looked as if it was about to lose for a fourth time in a row. European elimination to Atletico Madrid last week had been followed by a disappointing defeat at Granada on Saturday and then a Copa del Rey final loss to Real Madrid on Wednesday. Things could barely get any worse. Or so it seemed. But on a cool night in the Catalan capital on Easter Sunday and following the club's worst week in recent memory, many supporters stayed away. Barca gave the official attendance figure as 57,000, but there were far fewer fans than that inside the famous old stadium - and some of those greeted coach Gerardo Martino with jeers before the game. It wasn't a positive panorama. Meanwhile, in the opposition dugout sat Ernesto Valverde: Athletic boss, one-time Barcelona player and one of the chief candidates to succeed the Argentine at Camp Nou in the summer. Long admired by the Catalan club for his attractive football, Valverde is a former teammate and firm friend of Barca sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta - and on Sunday did no harm at all to his chances of a move to the Blaugrana. Athletic approached the game without fear and was the stronger side in the opening minutes, only for the Catalans to take control for the remainder of the first half and somehow squander a number of excellent opportunities. Pedro and Lionel Messi both missed good chances, but Barca was working hard to get back on track following a tough 10-day spell. Athletic had its moments as well, with the Basque side making life difficult for the Catalans on a number of occasions - most notably a stunning overhead kick by Aritz Aduriz which rebounded off the post with Jose Pinto a mere spectator. Aduriz, a player considered by the Barca board as a possible striking solution at Camp Nou, gave Athletic the lead early in the second half and many members of the Camp Nou crowd waved their handkerchiefs in disapproval at the current state of affairs at their cherished club. But their team is made of strong stuff and, in the absence of the injured Neymar, it was Alexis Sanchez and Pedro who combined to level the scores. Dani Alves ran into the box and squared to the Chilean, whose scuffed shot fell to Pedro - and this time he couldn't miss. Alexis has been largely ignored lately, while Pedro has been benched for much of the time too to make way for the ineffective Cesc Fabregas and the expensive Neymar, but both delivered on Sunday, running themselves into the ground for the Catalan cause. Food for thought, perhaps, for Martino, as Barca took the lead minutes later through a Messi free kick and survived a late scare (thanks to a brilliant block by Javier Mascherano) to claim all three points and remain in the title race, albeit as outsiders now. "We played well, with heart and courage," Martino said after. And Zubizarreta added: "We'll fight until the very last minute for the title. Still suffering in defense, the Barca board will have glanced enviously towards Athletic's Aymeric Laporte, a superb young center back who is interesting the Catalan club and would fit seamlessly into the Blaugrana back line. Valderde's valiant brand of attacking football also fits the bill on this evidence and if, as expected, Tata walks away this summer, the Basque boss looks the part to take over at Camp Nou in time for next season.
