Bilbao: Barcelona overcame an early setback to win 3-2 against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday. The club manager Ronald Koeman is thrilled to see strikers Lionel Messi and Pedri team up to stunning effect. 

A website quoted Koeman as saying, "Pedri is showing despite his youth that he is very mature. Messi has always shown his desire but today also with goals. It is very important. The final result is a bit short because we have been superior in many phases. They made it 1-0 and we did not have the defensive coordination, but then we controlled. The Barcelona manager is elated with the win and said the side deserved the result and they are on right track. He said, "I am happy with the result and with how we have achieved it. We have deserved it. Winning because of our game and our opportunities. The teamwork has been phenomenal. We will fight until the last match. There is a distance, but we are on the right track."

Barca is currently at third place with 31 points and will next take on Granada in the LaLiga on Saturday.
