The full-time whistle has been blown, as a dejected San Mames fans wonder how their side have lost that game.
Video Assistant Referee intervened to deny Athletic and Inaki Williams a last-gasp equaliser, with Muniain's prior hand-ball ruling the goal out.
The Blagurana could have added to Raphinha's first-half opener, going closest through Lewandowski's header, but at the other end, Ter Stegen was continually called upon to keep out shots from Berenguer, Muniain, Nico and Guruzeta at the death.
The hosts did everything but score, and will certainly feel aggrieved about that late VAR decision, but despite their best efforts, all three points are Barcelona's who extend their healthy advantage at the top of league standings
Up next the Catalan giants is a match in the Spanish La Liga against Real Madrid at Camp Nou, while Bilbao will aim to bounce back against Real Valladolid in the league.
