Quotes
"We had it there at times. We got into the final third and did some damage," Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde said after his side's defeat to Barcelona.
"It's a pity because we played really well. We were good and we put Barcelona under pressure. We just needed to convert some of our chances and score to put a bit of fear into them.
"Unfortunately, luck went against us at the end as the game was opening up."
Head-to-Head
Bilbao secured a 2-1 win over Valencia in their last meeting in La Liga in a match played at the Estadio de Mestalla on 11 February 2023.
