On paper, the poster really looks good. Well placed at the foot of the podium in La Liga, Athletic Bilbao faces the FC Barcelona with the desire to score, this Tuesday evening, in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup at the King Abdullah Sports City, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. 2 small points separate the two teams in the championship, as if to remind Barça that they must not underestimate their opponent of the day.
Renowned for being a cup team, the Basque team will have real advantages to show against a Barça which has been blowing hot and cold for several weeks. Bilbao-Barça is also and above all a meeting marked by the expected reunion between the two nuggets of the Spanish national team, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams. All eyes will be on the two prodigies on Wednesday evening.
The expected compositions:
Athletic Bilbao : Simon – Gorosabel, Vivian, Paredes, Berchiche – Prados, Jauregizar – I. Williams, Berenguer, N. Williams – Guruzeta.
Barca : Pena – Koundé, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde – De Jong, Gavi – Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha – Lewandowski.
