With the claw prepared for an extraordinary derby

Ander Cap

I said recently that it would be a mistake to think that we are favorites. I agree. And the numbers, unfortunately, too.

In the League they take us ten points and in the first round, on New Year's Eve, they beat us in Bilbao. But this Athletic is tough to fight, competitive and gives everything. Donostiarras would also do badly to trust themselves. A closed game suits us.

After more than 100 years, Athletic and Real decide between themselves for the first time a title to a match. It will be an extraordinary derby. And strange.

It will go down in the history of Basque and state football. The derby of the pandemic. The final without an audience. The game that was postponed for a long year. The clash between neighbors that settled a title. And with Athletic in pursuit of a triplet. Who gives more?
