…SEASON OBJECTIVE

It will be harder because we have more games and Athletic will try to have the best possible team, this is clear. We fight to be able to play games like those in Europe and to be able to carry Athletic's name high up. That is our intention, we are fighting all year to achieve it and now we want to enjoy the prize and compete for it. Our objective is to be fifth. I am clear about Unai's Zamora that he is there, but we want to win tomorrow and have a good taste in our mouths in San Mamés.

…INJURY REPORT

Nico Williams and Sancet have already done all the training. Also Muniain. We have some problems with Rincón, but we'll see. Finally, Sancet has not entered the call. Guruzeta and Adu Ares are also not on the list. I see Marcos very well, he is playing a lot of minutes and has an enviable physique despite his age. I don't know what will happen with its renewal, I can't go any further.

…UNAI SIMON

You make the changes and that's it. Then everyone talks based on how he turned out. I made the change the other day and it will be known if I do it again tomorrow or not. What I am clear about is that Julen is going to play, whether from the start or later. I want him to receive recognition from the people, he has been our goalkeeper in the Copa del Rey and in the league he has only played away from home.

…FAREWELL

Last night I made the decision not to continue in the team. It is a decision made once the objective was achieved but I did not want to alter the course. In any case, it is a decision that saddens me. I personally thank the players. Also to the president and sports management for daily communication. And above all, thank the fans, who are enormous, I have been privileged to experience it. I give a lot of value to this stage. They have been moments of great anguish. For me it has been a rescue plan that causes terrible wear and tear. The players are also worn out by this situation. I see him healthy so that there is fresh air in the club. The decision has been made before. They have been moments of difficulty, of rethinking things... Now I feel free, happy and ready to rest. I leave happy because I have done my job. If I had to choose a moment it would be after the derby. At that moment I was very happy because we achieved our goal and because we competed very well.

…INJURY REPORT

Suso will not be there. Marcos Acuña will be difficult for him to be there. Gudelj has in mind playing against Barcelona, but he has to be calm since he has a European Championship ahead of him. I see it as very difficult for Isaac to play against Barcelona as well. This club belongs to those who feel very strongly about this shirt. I love the legacy that I have left of Kike Salas, Isaac and Juanlu.
