They finish the games, the probaturas and to the FC Barcelona touches him already win yes or yes. After losing two to one the past Thursday in the gone, the Barcelona have to trace back if they want to be still in the Glass of the King 2016-2017 and happen to the quarter-finals. But in front will go back to have to an Athletic Club of Bilbao of Bilbao that will bet for manacling them with a very high pressure, looking for surprise from the first moment. In front of this, the Barça has to be finer that never in his passes and go back to recover the stray gunpowder.

As one of the aims for Luis Enrique is the one to recover to several pieces mainstays of the team for the cause. Luis Suárez and Neymar Júnior, to start with, and seeing his last parties. The Uruguayan does time that does not find comfortable and does not appear in the game culé although it does not tire to struggle and bregar. The Brazilian, although it contested a big party in Saint Mamés, can add a total of three months without seeing door and this already is a lot. Also it will look for his redemption in front of the Asturian and his own fans Ivan Rakitic that does not go through his best moment after falling in misfortune in to the list of summoned of Villarreal.

It does not explain the Barcelona with any player lesionado, doing plenary for the first time in long. Neither there is sanctioned although Jordi Alba, Andrés Iniesta and Sergio Busquets will have to go with feet of lead, after having been admonished in the gone. A panorama much more esclarecedor that the one of his rival, that will have to face up to a lot of drops by injury and sanction. Ernesto Valverde has problems in his goal after the injury of Kepa in front of the Sportive Alavés. Iñaki Williams is doubt until last hour by fever and Raúl García and Iturraspe will not be in the party after being expelled in the party of gone. To them it is necessary to join to Of Marcos, Yeray Álvarez, Aketxe and Lekue, all they also low by misfortune or illness.

The Athletic Club arrives touched by the drops

This leaves to the "very touched" lions to the hour to do the own list of summoned. It does not be necessary to forget that the calendar has squeezed them these days and will do them play next Saturday to the one. For this reason, but without wanting to save his best bazas, "the txingurri" will bet by an alignment resembled the one who played in front of the Alavés with Iraizoz in the goal and Saint José supliendo to Raúl García in the centre of the field. Precisely in front of the vitorianos empataron to zero by what also look for resarcirse and recover good feelings.

All this in what it is a classical of the competition copera since it fits to remember that Athletic and FC Barcelona are the two clubs that have in his list of winners more titles of Glass of Rey, 23 trophies the "lions" and 28 the Barcelona, what leaves clear the presence of a party between two "big" with win to offer show in both meetings. One of the two will remain went after this duel in which will have also a lot of importance the Camp Nou. The Estadi Barcelona engalanará as in the best parties, in spite of the schedule, and will treat to be an authentic boiler in which the ones of "Struggle" cook to the lion.
