16 wins to prove Barça comeback is possible

As Barcelona's official website has recalled that the Blaugrana have achieved eight such wins against AthletiC Club, if one is repeated then it will result in a Super Cup trophy. Two were won in Bilbao, with the rest in Barcelona. Five of them would lead to extra time, or possibly penalties.
