Athletic needs to recover all possible strength for what is to come, which is very numerous and very important. The six league games remaining until the end of the year will largely set the team’s level in the 24-25 season. The lions offered a good performance in the first part of the course. The penalty of points lost in injury time against Atlético, Sevilla and Girona, or for example against Betis, remains, but since November 24 they have been ahead of them, above all, four very difficult matches against at Real Sociedad, Madrid, Villarreal and Osasuna.
These matches, the first three in San Mamés and the last at home, will determine the lions’ ability to compete against rivals in the top zone of the classification and the possibility of fighting for fourth place in the Champions League currently held by the yellow team led by Marcellin.
In addition, there will be a visit to Rayo de Inigo Perezwho are having a good campaign, and the clash against Alavés in Mendizorrotza, always difficult and with the added difficulty of being a derby.
In Europe, things are getting better after doing their homework with flying colors in the first four days. Victory over Elfsborg in Bilbao on the 28th would put qualification for the round of 16 on track as one of the best eight teams in the League Phase. No doubt it would be an achievement to achieve a direct ticket without playing the play off round.
