Meeting Highlights...ABOUT THE SEASON
On a personal level it has been very positive and enriching months. Imagine what it's like to be a first coach, you learn and improve. The balance is positive on a personal level, and on a collective level it is positive, but it is true that we have to learn, correct mistakes that we have had so that next year we can achieve the objective again and if it can be to be a little calmer.
...MOTIVATION
We have easy things to ask of you: the message is that in 3 days we celebrate the centenary, something that is very difficult. We must honor the people who have come to the field for 100 years and be able to continue the legacy of other players and coaches. It is a unique and historic opportunity with a beautiful rival with farewells, the last game of the season.
...ABOUT THE MATCH
It is one thing that there is a festive atmosphere and another thing that we are going to take it as a party. Tomorrow I expect the best Rayo since I've been here. I expect a victory, I expect a tough game and the best way to celebrate is by playing a good game. We can't go out into the field thinking it's just another day.

Manager on Athletic Bilbao...INJURY REPORT
Muni is not there, neither is Sancet and I think no one else. Well Guru and Iñaki neither. Let us remember that Muniain and Sancet have not trained with the group since yesterday due to conjunctivitis and a fever respectively.
... INAKI
Two years ago Iñaki had an accident in which he stepped on a glass, a cup, a crystal. He had a deep wound on the sole of his foot. He has been having discomfort for a few months now. He was undergoing treatment, but after the final he had an MRI and they saw that they had left a 2-centimeter glass inside and that it was approaching a tendon. We started laughing, we didn't believe it, but he gave me permission to tell it.
...OPPONENT
They look like us because they put a lot of rhythm. It will be a tough and brave game, although the points are not so important.
