The meeting can be seen live, by streaming, on eitb.eus.
“I don’t like to talk about impossible things, but the tie is very difficult,” admitted the coach of the red and white team. David Aznarin the previous press conference he offered in Lezama before advancing his idea of ”being more competitive” than a week ago in San Mamés.
Regardless of the result, Aznar considers that this tie “against the best team in the world” will be very positive in the future for a young group like Athletic because Barça is the team “that sets the elite” and that is why it requires them to “be as best as possible and compete better.
“Having a team like Barça in our league is positive because it sets the level of the highest demands and is the path we must follow, of confidence in a medium-long term project. For us it is a motivation to be as close to the highest level as possible,” the coach stressed.
