Athletic Bilbao claimed their first trophy in 31 years as they drew 1-1 with 10-man Barcelona to win the Spanish Super Cup 5-1 on aggregate. Lionel Messi had given the European champions -- who trailed 4-0 from the first leg -- a glimmer of hope with the opener two minutes before half-time.

However, any realistic hope Barca had of pulling off a monumental comeback disappeared when Gerard Pique was shown a straight red card for dissent 10 minutes into the second-half. Aritz Aduriz exploited the space left by the Spanish international defender's dismissal to follow up his hat-trick in the first leg with the equaliser midway through the second-half. "For us to win a title is the best thing that can happen to us," Aduriz told Spanish TV.
