Bilbao have been struggling this season and they will be taking on the league leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, in the Spanish La Liga over the weekend and Muniain wants his team to take a positive result from the difficult fixture.
Barcelona are going to be involved in a tricky fixture over the weekend as they take on the struggling Spanish La Liga side, Athletic Bilbao.
The Catalan giants are currently sitting at the top of the Spanish La Liga, as they have only dropped two points throughout the season, and that happened when they faced their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, during the start of the season.
La Blaugrana are enjoying a great run of form and a struggling team like Bilbao might not trouble them. Moreover, on the other hand, Real Madrid are going to face the second-placed Spanish La Liga side, Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid have been in phenomenal form this season, dropping a total of five points, a feat which allows them to sit in the second position.
They are even above their local city rivals, Real Madrid, something which they have not achieved since the year 1999.
Over the weekend, Barcelona have the chance to extend their lead over either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, something that the Catalan giants will definitely cherish.
However, the Athletic Bilbao midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Muniain-c16816, has stated that he is looking forward for the Barcelona fixture and hopes that his team gets a positive result against the league leaders.
“This game is always nice to play as a game of football because we never go to Camp Nou with anything other than the desire to pick up a positive result.”
“There is no formula to beating them, if we find our level of play and are there for each other, there will be chances to achieve a better result.”
“In these games, you cannot hand your opponents any opportunities, they won’t be forgiven. There have been times this season when we have been like we were last year, but it has taken work.”
Barcelona, who are situated right at the top of the table, are also going to try and kill the game as soon as possible because a win would mean that they will beat Real Madrid’s record of having the highest amount of points in the start of the Spanish La
Liga table.
