The Cup champion receives the defeated in a date with the smell of La Cartuja
Real Sociedad and Athletic they meet again in the final dessert. LaLiga’s adjustment has left the match that should have faced them last round in the championship for four days after the final. And everything that happens in the green will be related to what happened on Saturday. La Real continues with a hoarse voice and Athletic is stunned. Two teams and two clubs that will take time to forget what happened in La Cartuja.
LaLiga is an unimportant addition. And this is the case despite the fact that Real is gambling its hook to the European positions and Athletic the possibility of finishing the tournament among the seven best, even if that happens for a month and a half with hardly any failure. This is because how juicy Real and Athletic had between them for this campaign has already been played.
It is a dessert without desire. La Real arrives full of happiness and Athletic with a shrunken stomach. A victory for the txuriurdin would make them win all the derbies of the season, although at this point few will remember what happened in San Mamés because what matters most is La Cartuja.
An Athletic victory would have a mixed character: while they won’t make the points ugly, everyone would wonder why it didn’t happen in the Cup final. Everything tonight has to do with Seville.
Barça’s win
The Cup champion returns to Anoeta, where in his last appearance he was sheared by Barcelona in a match that has not left any resentful because in the next one he won the Cup final. Does anyone remember the 6 of Barça? The two consecutive defeats with which Real LaLiga fired are an anecdote. The Cup champion has everything within reach and winning would return to be fully in the battle to be fifth.
The one from Orio sure would have wanted to give rest in this last duel with Athletic of the season to some of his players with more effort on Saturday, but he has again found the losses of Silva, Illarramendi, Guridi and Zaldua, so you still cannot make as many changes as you would like.
