Imanol Alguacil
Manager on Real SociedadOpponent and Derby:
"We know Athletic are in a great period, but we have played very well away from home this season against big opponents. This is a Champions League race, both teams are there and both are in a good moment, it will be an important game."
** Attack Plans:**
"I have many options in terms of players when creating the squad. We can play with 4-3-3 but we also have the option of going back to three centre-backs or the diamond... The target will be the same as always, to try to be better than them and have more opportunities."
