Gameday: Spanish Supercup Final Second Leg
By: Paul | August 23rd, 2009
Athletic Club Bilbao play the second leg of the Spanish Supercup today, and basically get a re-do for failing to add silverware to their cabinet last season. Personally, I think that this is a battle Athletic won’t be able to win- they’re already down on aggregate and have looked average at best during the pre-season and Europa League campaign. Oh yeah, and they’re playing Barcelona at their home ground. Key players such as Amorebieta, Yeste (who hasn’t done well anyway), Susaeta, and Javi Martinez are all left out of the squad for today’s game, which is something I don’t think will help the team at all. Of course, these players are likely being rested after their Europa league game.
Still, I’ll watch and be rooting for the team as I always do. Here’s to hoping they can pick it up and pull off an upset.
The game will be played at 3pm Houston time, 10pm Bilbao time.
Athletic Squad: Athletic Club: Iraizoz, Toquero, Koikili, Ustaritz, David López, Llorente, Gabilondo, San José, Armando, Iraola, Orbaiz, Etxeberria, Gurpegi, Ion Vélez, Castillo, De Cerio, Iturraspe and Xabi Etxebarria.
My XI:
————-Iraizoz—————-
—Iraola-San José-Ustaritz-Castillo—
David López-Orbaiz-Gurpegi-Gabilondo
———Llorente-De Cerio———
