The teenage attacker has expressed his desire to halt Los Blancos’ ambition to secure the La Liga title when they visit the Basque country.
Athletic Bilbao’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Muniain-c16816 has appeared confident ahead of his side’s midweek clash against Spanish giants, Real Madrid.
Jose Mourinho’s men are one win away from securing the Spanish Primera title, as three points in midweek will provide them with enough advantage over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 to pave their way to the Spanish crown.
The Spanish capital-based club are set to travel away from home to take up the challenge of Bilbao at the San Memes on Wednesday.
Although Marco Biesla’s men are considered to be a strong force at home, Madrid have been tipped as heavy favorites to emerge victorious when the two teams meet on Wednesday.
Being this year’s league leaders, the Whites have been remarkable throughout the campaign. With consistent performances, both home and away, Los Blancos have surely proven themselves to be worthy of the Liga BBVA title.
Football purists have expressed the belief that the Santiago Bernabeu outfit have finally broken Barca’s dominance over Spanish football, as they have established themselves as a destructive force under Jose Mourinho this season.
In their last match against Sevilla, Madrid were able to come away with a 3-0 victory, continuing their winning ways in the Spanish Primera.
On the other hand, Bilbao were busy in Europe as they locked horns against Sporting Lisbon in the semi-final of the Europa League. Impressively, the Basque outfit managed to book their place in the final, after they eliminated Sporting with an aggregate
score of 4-3.
Muniain believes that his side has shown great improvement this season and stressed that they can manage a victory against Los Merengues at home.
While talking to reporters, the teenager was quoted as saying:
"It's a game that will require a lot. We will go for it and look to delay [Madrid winning the title]. They are playing for the league but we always wear the shirt with pride and at San Mames, there's too much at stake. Let's go for it in all the remaining
games and get the most points possible, even if it is to secure fifth place."
Can Marco Bielsa’s men stop Real Madrid from lifting the Spanish La Liga trophy at San Memes? We can only wait and see.
