SEVILLE, Spain (Reuters) - A furious Antoine Griezmann criticised Barcelona's lack of leadership in defence as they were beaten 3-2 by Athletic Bilbao after extra time in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday.

Griezmann twice gave the Catalans the lead, however Bilbao enjoyed the game's best chances, causing havoc at set-pieces as they had a goal disallowed for offside and missed two gilt-edged headers to increase their advantage in the extra period.
