As an air of deja vu … one of the most exciting posters of this table of the round of 16 of the
Europa League will oppose two stables that know each other well, AS Rome and Athletic Bilbao. Two heads declared themselves in this competition which had already met earlier in this edition last fall, during the league phase of this new formula.
On September 26, Bilbao came to collect a point at the Olympic stadium in the face of a Roma in the midst of a crisis (1-1). Water has flowed under the bridges since, and the Giallorossi have taken up some colors under the leadership of the experienced Claudio Ranieri, returned to the fold to straighten the situation. But once again, Bilbao should offer tough opposition to this Italian team capable of blowing hot and cold.

Athletic Bilbao : Simon – De Marcos, Vivian, Alvarez, Boiro – Jauregiz, Prados (or Vesga) – I. Williams, Berenguer, N. Williams – Sannadi.
