What a performance from Barcelona. Yes, they were up against 10 men from very early in the match, but in this form it's difficult to envisage how Athletic Bilbao could have held them off with their full team on the pitch. Messi, Neymar and Suarez are unplayable at the moment.
92'
FULL-TIME: Barcelona 6-0 Athletic Bilbao
91'
Athletic Bilbao just want this game to be over. To be honest, they've played like they want this game to be over since the second goal went in. They have been utterly dominated with 10 men.
90'
Just two minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the second half.
89'
NEYMAR MISJUDGES IT, FOR ONCE! Vidal tried to find the Brazilian forward with a lobbed cross into the box, but Neymar got his jump wrong and the ball flashed over his head.
88'
YELLOW CARD: Javi Eraso (Athletic Bilbao)
87'
86'
How do you pick between Mesi, Neymar and Suarez? They're al so dangerous and you could actually argue that the latter two are currently playing better than Messi! Incredible!
85'
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 6 (83 mins - Luis Suarez) Athletic Bilbao 0. And there's the hat-trick for Suarez! He jumped highest to head home Vidal's cross from the byline. Great leap, excellent header. What a display.
84'
NEYMAR SHOULD HAVE SCORED! The Brazilian breaks through on goal, but tries to round the keeper and gets his feet in a muddle. He should have taken the shot earlier!
83'
The home side are still pressing Athletic Bilbao whenever they have the ball. Roberto in particular has given Barcelona some fresh energy in the centre of the field.
82'
It's still relentless pressure from Barcelona. They have made changes, but it hasn't really made much of a difference to the home side's play. They are utterly on top.
81'
Cast your mind back to when Enrique appeared to be on the brink of losing his job. In fact, it was pretty much a year ago at this time. How things have changed in that time.
80'
Neymar will be disappointed with that. He has the chance to shoot a freekick at Herrerin's goal, but he leans back and sends his effort over the crossbar. That was an opportunity.
79'
78'
The true gauge of this Barcelona team will be in the Champions Lague, but the fact that the Liga title race is so close just demonstrates how high the quality in Spain is right now.
77'
I actually wonder if the spell Messi spent out injured earlier in the season served Barcelona well. It means that they are not so reliant on their Argentine number 10 now.
76'
Both Neymar and Suarez are playing the football of their lives. The two players have such a great understanding, and that's before you even factor in Messi as well.
74'
The Camp Nou crowd have now started a Mexican Wave. Are you not entertained? What more do you want, Barcelona fans? Oh right, more goals? Yeah, me too. Me too.

YELLOW CARD: Oscar De Marcos (Athletic Bilbao)
