Meeting Highlights…GRIEZMANN
We need everyone, the team, the people, that we can transmit to the footballers of the moment and the responsibility.
…TEAM’S MOOD
I really want to reverse the bad game we played on Sunday and play a good game. People have always been there and they will surely do so again, we have to keep that alive. I didn't imagine the distance with the leader, I don't have the magic ball.
…ABOUT THE MATCH
Every day we hear the same phrase. I don't move from the same thing as in these 12 years, game by game. People have always been there and they will surely do so again, we have to keep that alive.
…OPPONENT
Bilbao is one of the teams that scores the fewest goals and is in one of its best seasons in the last 30 years. The results are visible and he plays football very well.

Ernesto Valverde
Manager on Athletic Bilbao…ABOUT THE MATCH
Man, it is an important game for points. It is true that for us it is more final than for them, since we arrive from behind. Defeat for us is more dangerous, but if we win we would tie with them. Yes, it is an important match, I don't know if it is definitive but it can be and it is a great opportunity for us.
…IKER MUNIAIN
Iker is a reference player for us, for the dressing room, coach, Athletic fan for what he has been all these years and for what he represents. His numbers are concentrated in one club, in this one from a very young age. It is a decision that he has made and we are going to accompany him in all of this.
…PREPARATION
It is clear that it is a game of intensity and we must be prepared. We'll see about Beñat Prados and Aitor Paredes. We also have the possibility of Imanol on the left and Lekue on the right, we'll see. For Athletic it is important that the subsidiary is in a category that has a high difficulty for the players to progress and develop better. The first RFEF is a good category and even if they can be higher, then better.
…YURI BERCHICHE
It is clear that Yuri's injury is caused by a tough tackle and we are going to lose a player for I don't know how long. Let's hope not much, but they are like that and it has already happened twice with the same player. Let's hope it doesn't happen again.
