Athletic won at Balaídos after surrendering the Cup against Osasuna in San Mamés. Action and reaction. Valverde’s team knew how to rise to the occasion in Vigo and took the three points that helped some realize the lions are fourth in the Liga, but tied with Barça. It’s there.
SAIt’s time to close the qualification for the next round of the Europa League. The red and white have two bullets left to ensure they are among the top eight, something that will allow them to go directly to the second round in addition to securing more money and not returning to this competition until March. The first of these cartridges is passing through Türkiye today.
NIt is not easy to play in Istanbul and even less against a rival like Besiktas. Nothing, in any case, should scare this Athletic, as they have also beaten Mourinho’s Fenerbahce at home. Turkish hell, but less.
SA Valverde has to turn around again. There is no other option to maintain a competitive tone for the rest of the season. The dose of efforts in a squad is always appreciated in passing various official commitments.
RIt is necessary, in any case, to face the final exit from the group stage with eleven capable of competing and, if possible, winning. Going undefeated isn’t bad either, but the sooner he gets a spot in the top eight, the better.
