Messi sees red as Bilbao claim Super Glass glory
Barcelona's Lionel Messi was sent off found in the closing stages of extra time while Athletic Bilbao lifted the Spanish Super with a 3-2 victory on Sunday.

A goal in each one half from Antoine Griezmann looked to have won it for Barca, after Oscar de Marcos equalised right before the break, only for Bilbao alternative Asier Villalibre to volley home in the 90th minute to send the overall game in to the extra period.

Three minutes into the additional 50 % hour Inaki Williams curled a beautiful effort into the far corner from the edge of the box to win the match for Marcelino Garcia's side.

Messi was sent off found in the 120th minute for lashing out at Villalibre seeing as the Catalans sought an equaliser.

Victory represents a third Super Cup title for the Basque area and their initial silverware given that they claimed the same trophy in 2015 with a 5-1 aggregate make an impression on Barca.
