Osasuna-Athletic Bilbao, two different needs for a derby!

Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! Osasuna and Athletic are playing this afternoon at El Sadar again in an intense antagonist confrontation between two neighbours with different targets in La Liga. Osasuna needs to continue on the improvement of the game and their position in the championship and the team from Bilbao needds a victory to confirm their wish to be in the next Champions League.

After an uncertain start in La Liga, Osasuna has achieved five consecutive games without losing and the relegation post are quite far away to demand a better result than the last confrontations with our hatred rival from Bilbao. It is well known the policy between the two clubs and how the powerful rich club in Bilbao usually "takes" the most valuable players from Navarre to play with its colours.

The matches between both team in history are in favour for the Bizcayans: 14 wins, 11 draws and only 6 defeats in Pamplona. Anyway, history is different from the actuality. Osasuna comes from a draw in Granada (0-0), and except for Sisi, the whole team is ready to be used by the coach, Javier Gracia.

On the other hand, Athletic plays this game away after losing (1-0) in Copa del Rey against Atletico in Madrid and their doubts to get many goals away from their "Cathedral" and they haven't scored in this beginning of the year as visitors. Although there has been a huge resentment in Pamplona for the use of players born in Navarre and former players in Osasuna, it seems that there will be only two Navarrians players in the kickoff team from Bilbao and none played previously with the "Reds". But, that is not enough to hate Athletic and their players in El Sadar and the extra wish to beat that team for Osasuna supporters!

Alineaciones probables:
Osasuna: Andrés Fernández; Marc Bertrán, Loties, Arribas, Damiá; Silva, Lolo; Cejudo, De las Cuevas, Armenteros; Oriol Riera.
Athletic: Iraizoz; Iraola, Gurpegui, Laporte, Balenziaga; Iturraspe, Rico, Herrera; Susaeta, Aduriz, Ibai.

GORA OSASUNA! AUPA ROJILLOS!

Athletic-Osasuna at Anoeta, a derby for three!

Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! Today is Friday,...and? Is my article about holidays? 9 1/2 weeks are almost gone, but no, we still have time to enjoy!No,...It is a football day, and the teles are the ones to blame, apart from the LFP betrayers. Perhaps, the angriest of all must be the supporters from Bilbao, as they not only have to move to Donosti to watch a home game, their most hatred rival stadium will be their stadium for the second time in history, but they also have to leave their city, Bilbao, during the major day of their festivals, Aste Nagusia. Anyway, football is our topic. After the first games of this season, the beginning was different for both teams. Athletic won their match against Valladolid away ( 1-2 ) and they are full of confidence and ready to confront their first derby. On the other hand, Osasuna, the real visitor this game lost their match at El Sadar, against one of their rivals for the season to fulfill their main goal: avoid relegation to Second Division. Don't forget that must be the aim for Osasuna during this year, again and ever. Valverde, Athletic's coach, won't be able to use two of his Navarrians for this game, Iraizoz and Ekiza. You know that was an important issue in the previous confrontations, but it seems to be forgotten, except for the last player who left Osasuna to cross the highway to Bilbao: Kike Sola. Unfortunately for the Bizkaians, Kike is sanctioned too and he won't play against his ex-partners. During these days, as you know, I have been on holidays and most days I stayed in Bilbao and I have bben witness of the demolition of San Mames stadium, the home stadium of Athletic de Bilbao, and the construction of their new stadium: San Mames Berria. It is a pity we couldn't inaugurate the new stadium, I wish we could, but another reality is that they, as locals, only sent 300 tickets for Osasuna supporters and it has been imposible to get one to watch at Anoeta. Osasuna will play the match with many handicaps, more than the necessary for a second game in the season. First,our team lost their game at home against Granada, a direct rival, and second, there will be many players who won't repeat in the kickoff team. Apart from Miguel Flaño, Eneko Satrústegui, Manuel Ortiz "Lolo" and Juan Francisco Martínez, who didn't play the first game, we must add "Nino", injured , Álvaro Cejudo and Miguel De las Cuevas. Mendilibar will replace them with Sisinio González "Sisi" and Oriol Riera. Besides, Francisco "Gato" Silva will substitute Raoul Loé. But what the team need is not only new men in the kickoff team, but overall the strenght and fight that is inner in the name of the club. KICKOFF TEAMS: Athletic: Herrerín; Iraola, Gurpegui, Laporte, Balenziaga; Iturraspe, Beñat, Herrera; Susaeta, Aduriz and Muniain. Osasuna: Andrés Fernández; Marc Bertrán, Loties, Arribas, Joan Oriol; Puñal, Silva; Armenteros, Oriol Riera, Sisi; Ariel Núñez. GORA OSASUNA! AUPA ROJILLOS!

Osasuna-Athletic Bilbao, more than a derby

 
Good morning, dear Osasunists!
Today is a red day on our football calendar. Although it isn't a Sunday, today is FOOTBALL DAY, with capital letters. Not only because there is a Clasico match before Osasuna's game, but also because the rival of Osasuna is the hatred Athletic de Bilbao.

Osasuna needs to get their fourth consecutive victory against Athletic in Pamplona. A match that both teams will face differently from the expected after the first round in La Liga. Athletic is only three points from the relegation posts; after playing two finals last season and shouting their supporters an overwhelming "Bielsa quedate" at Vicente Calderon at Copa del Rey Final last June, the supporters and some assistants of Athletic's chairman, Urrutia, want Bielsa to be fired after the bad results of the Basque team.

The reds from Pamplona, "los rojillos", have won all their matches that they played at El Sadar in 2013, after the beginning of the second round and their situation is the opposite from Athletic's. Osasuna have flown away from the relegation posts, which are now five points ahead. The Navarrians are still a strong team in the defence as Andres Fernandez, the goalkeeper, picked the ball 27 times, even less times than Victor Valdes in F.C. Barcelona or if we compare to the goal issue raised in Bilbao, because there is a debate with Iraizoz or Raul, the two goalkeepers in the Basque team. But on the other hand, the best forward, Kike Sola, has just scored seven goals though they have been very important for Osasuna.

There is an important supporting campaign to take the football fans to El Sadar, and for the first time this season the stadium will be complete and all together we'll shout "A por Ellos" or "Eman Gogor" ( Go for them ). There is a great expectation on the game in Pamplona and the supporters expect to win the eternal hatred rival from Bilbao.

Mendilibar, Osasuna's coach, is from Bilbao, but he has already achieved a victory against Athletic last season in Pamplona. He won't use players like Ruben, sanctioned, or Raoul Loe, injured. Miguel Flaño and Lolo will substitute them after resting against Levante last weekend, another important success in a game away the local stadium.

Meanwhile, Bielsa, Athletic's coach, is on the red line. They have lost their last three games against Espanyol, Malaga and their neighbours in Donosti-San Sebastian at San Mames stadium, Real Sociedad, and they are heading the relegation posts and need to win Osasuna to avoid those posts. Besides, Athletic's coach has got many problems with his players since the beginning of the season. After Javier Martinez's transfer to Bayern Munich and the announcement of next season sign with Juventus for Llorente, there are many doubts with Amorebieta or Iker Muniain, who has shown his lack of mature after his action last weekend at San Mames and his later speech.

Posible kickoff teams:
. Osasuna: Andres Fernandez; Marc Bertran, Arribas, Flaño, Damia; Lolo, Silva, Oier Sanjurjo, Armenteros, Nino; Kike Sola.
. Athletic: Iraizoz; Iraola, San Jose, Laporte, Aurtenetxe; Iturraspe, De Marcos, Herrera; Susaeta, Aduriz , Ibai Gómez.
Don't forget the referee: Fernando Teixeira Vitienes, with bad results for Osasuna matches!
Gora Osasuna! Aupa Rojillos!

Athletic-Osasuna and the national clasico

Good afternoon, dear Osasunists!Today we are playing THE game that everyone, footballers and supporters, are expecting from the beginning of the season: THE DERBY. Athletic and Osasuna are playing on Sunday evening before the Spanish clasico: Barça-Real Madrid. Two matches which football lovers want to watch live or on TV. The Basque rivals play at 18.30 and supporters from Bilbao will have to choose between a football or basketball game, as Gestcrap are playing at the Bilbao Arena at the same time as Bielsa's boys. Bielsa. Athletic's coach is in the eye of the storm in Bilbao's club. Before the beginning of this season there were doubts on Bielsa's stay on San Mames bench. He complained about several people and customes in Lezama at a press conference. Then, LLorente and Javi Martinez rebelled and the navarrian midfield left to Germany and he is playing for Bayern Munchen.

Meanwhile, LLorente's issue came out again this week. He couldn't leave in the summer as some European teams like Juventus from Italy were not willing to pay his club exclusivity and it seems that they will wait for December to sign a new contract. For the time being, the player, born in Pamplona, is relegated to wait on the bench and his relationship with the Argentinian coach is getting worse as Spanish TV stations showed on Tuesday. Besides, Athletic footballers aren't playing like last season. THey only got 1 point in their three games in European League as they lost their last match on Thursday ( 3-1 ) and they showed a poor game. ALso, in the home competition, they are in the relegation posts with their next rivals: Osasuna. Therefore, we, Osasuna supporters expect that our team must make a profit of all that was mentioned before and it's a good opportunity to get three worthy points from our neighbour rivals. In the last ten years, Osasuna got three wins, three draws and the rest were lost games. Some of them were really painful for the supporters, like the one in the season 2004-05 ( 4-3 ), though two years later there was a mild revenge ( 0-3 ). But since then, all Osasuna visits at San Mames finished with a defeat on Navarrian side. Osasuna may play their last game at this San Mames, as the new one is under construction, and leave a brilliant score in its history. Gora Osasuna! Aupa Rojillos!

Osasuna-Athletic, Supporters vs Hooligans

Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! Today is the D day, as it was in the II World War, and we receive one of our "neighbours", "cousins" in our home, at El Sadar; and this is one of the those moments I use the former name of Osasuna stadium. It's the sense of History, and Tradition! Athletic Club de Bilbao is the one. After last Thursday match in Manchester against the "Red Devils" of Man United, Bielsa's team is a craze all over Europe in the mass media. And there are many mistakes on the journalists' opinions as I heard on the radio yesterday night. I am the first one to congratulate the team from Bilbao, though I have my opinions about the match last Thursday. It is obvious that Athletic played brilliant at Old Trafford, but we must take in account that there are only two points between Athletic and Osasuna. And that is my point to critizise some comments on RNE station in TABLERO DEPORTIVO. As they dedicated some parts of their programme to praise the play of Athletic yesterday night. I accept those good comments when the Spanish journalists talk about a "Spanish" team against a foreigner in Europe. But when they are going to talk about a match in La Liga between two team of the region, worldwide called a derby, they must be unbias, neutral and talk about true facts. Everyone must bear in mind that Osasuna and Athletic are playing this evening in Pamplona for a European post in the Spanish League. Both teams have to follow different politics in their clubs and there have been lots of news these days about their different situation. Osasuna is not one of the most debtor teams in La Liga, but the incomes are not big enough to mantain a competitive team in Spain. Osasuna is a "selling" team. As a good player stands out in Osasuna, he is leaving the team the next season. If that player was born in Navarra, Basque Country, or was in the club since he was a child, Athletic de Bilbao is the club to contract him. The worst of all that situation for a Osasuna supporter is not the question of the loss of a good plyer for the team, but first the idea that he is going to play for a most hatred rival in La Liga, and the amount Osasuna get is very low for the economy of the club. So, my first point to differ Athletic from Osasuna is the budget. I include the incentives Athletic de Bilbao obtain from the local and regional governments, the Town Hall and the Diputacion- regional government-. Both teams are looking for more investments to build new stadiums. As Osasuna is struggling to get private investors and must move from the centre of Pamplona, the team from Bilbao is moving in three years time just 150 metres from their actual site. It is almost impossible for a modest team like Osasuna to have a fair play against such a powerful team like Athletic dde Bilbao. My second point is their poilitics, which affect poorer closer teams like Osasuna and Real Sociedad. Urrutia is, since last 7th July, the chairman in Bilbao, and his winning card was the coach, Bielsa "El loco". He is a coach of a different style from the former coach in Bilbao, Caparrós. So, many supporters in Bilbao were quite doubtful of that risky politics, but Urrutia won, and the first matches in this season weren't as good as the actual position shows. It is said that Bielsa's play is similar to Guardiola's in Barça, or viceversa as Bielsa is older and more experienced. Therefore, everything is said, and it is a brilliant play that gives importance to the football. After six months in Bilbao, Bielsa had the Bilbao supporter forgot the good moments with Caparrós and Athletic is 5th in the classification of the Spanish League, is playing the final of Copa del Rey against Barça, and last Thursday they mastered a match at the famous Old Trafford against the former best team in England, perhaps in Europe, Manchester United. On the other hand, Osasuna's coach is from Bilbao. He is not a foreigner famous coach, but Mendilibar is a hardworking coach, used to struggle in uncomfortable position in former teams, and to fight to avoid relegation or to get a team go back to First Division. Mendilibar made a mistake in his opinion about this match in the first leg of the season. He is very honest and said Osasuna should be grateful to Athletic, and those words hurt Osasunism, the club and the supporters. The good results helped him to diluate those comments and Osasuna is 7th in La liga now. Mendilibar could explain his words further. My final point is the Navarrian issue. There is a famous paper in Spain which main heading in this kind of games is the amount of Spanish players in a "Nationalist" team like Athletic de Bilbao. Thus, there will be two Navarrians in Bielsa's team, and none of them played for Osasuna ever, and one of them is the most hated for the supporters, and the goalkeeper, Iraizoz, was about to play when he wasn't well considered in Lezama. However, we musn't forget the outnumbered players formed in Osasuna who were wrongly sold to Bilbao, and the worst for a Osasuna fan, in a Figo way, those who boosted their Osasunism and they are on Bilbao bench, do you remember David Lopez? All in all, I hope the game will be for Osasuna!But overall I hope both teams give all supporters a good evening of good football! Gora Osasuna! Aupa Rojillos!

Athletic Bilbao-C.A. Osasuna, thanks...Mendilibar???

Good evening, dear Osasunists! Tonight we have another important game for us, and again, as many other teams in this "Third World" League, we must play at an unusual day and time: on Monday at 21.00 hours. As Osasuna's coach, Mendilibar, said I haven't seen Real Madrid or Barça to play at midday on Sunday, or at afterlunch time- for Spaniards- at 16.00 hours on Sunday, or on Monday. Osasuna might not have to complain, but Athletic Bilbao, as an European team this season should have done it as the rest of the teams to play in this week played last Saturday!But, perhaps Bilbao is not such a powerful team as they believed!!! I bring this issue here as we are playing what we usually call a derby. Osasuna and Athletic are neighbours, but not as in good terms as expected. When Osasuna's chairman, Izco, and Mendilibar started talking to sign the contract to become the coach of Osasuna, I suppose both knew what to do. Mendilibar said a controversial sentence in a press conference last Sunday, yesterday, before the match for today. In short, he came to day that Osasuna should thank Athletic for existing. Ok!!hmmmmmmmmmm! Let's see! Everyone knows where Mendilibar comes from. He's from Bilbao and used to work as a coach for Athletic many years ago. He also worked for the youth team and as a consillior there. BUT HE'S THE COACH OF OSASUNA NOW! I mean, You know I am a teacher in Salesians School. A neighbour school is Escolapios. They are rivals in the sense of a school ( some students or teachers may go to one or other ) I worked there, but I am not going to say that Escolapios is the best school in Pamplona and Salesians should ask for favour to the other school,...and if I think so, I WOULD NEVER SAY IT ALOUD, IN FRONT OF THE MASS MEDIA!!! ( OR MY BOSS!!!) We, Osasuna supporters, are Mendilibar's bosses and HE HAS DISAPPOINTED ALL OSASUNISTS!! Even when he might be right, he is working for Osasuna and he must defend and talk in favour of Osasuna, and not for his previous bosses! If we take football history, we must say that Mendilibar is right. Athletic came at the late 90's and brought a lot of money to buy football players, but most of them were on sale: Orbaiz was an example. He will always be considered as a good Osasunists! He had to leave Osasuna to help the club economy, but other former Osasuna players like Tiko, David Lopez or Javi Martinez,were just "mercenarios" ( as they are called proffesional soldiers ) that ddecided to earn more money,...fair, perhaps, but they used to say they would ever leave Osasuna and they will ever love Osasuna, just few days before signing a milllionare contract!! Mendilibar, please, you should apologize to us and pray that results help you this season, because nobody will forgive you for this betrayal. Gora Osasuna!Aupa Rojillos!

Everything is admitted

Hello, dear Osasunists! Today we have a derby in our stadium: The Reyno de Navarra stadium. We are visited by our "brothers" from Bizkaia, Athletic de Bilbao. As usual, we have read, listened and watched volumes of comments from both sides. But I would like to start my weekly article with "the other" match of the week. Remember that our derby coexists with "the match of the century": Barça-Madrid, this time at Santiago Bernabeu stadium. It was yesterday, but it depicted everyone. I'm not interested in talking about the match, but Mou's attitude, which I'm going to connect to Gurpegui's. It's the reason of my title. Everything is accepted, anybody can say whatever they come out their mind, and no matter it's offensive or aggresive for the rival or other people's job. To begin with, the Portuguese coach decided not to talk to the media last Friday, which is uncommon and offensive for the proffessional journalists who follow both team, Madrid and Barça, and overall is against education. This blog, as you know, originated for an educational purpose, but one of the subjects is football. It is hard for me to go back on Monday to my school and tell my students to answer my questions and behave themselves to respect the other's expression. One of his "heroes" is the coach of Real Madrid and they "learn" much from their idols. On the other hand, his response after the match yesterday was to divert his attitude with another dishonest attitude, so next time my students'parents want to talk to me I will tell themm to talk my wife or my school director. The second issue is Gurpegui's comments. Maybe he is right, but he mustn't say that. I explain myself. When somebody talks about your family and critizes them, I'm sure you'll defend them with your hands, if neccesary, but you'll probably try to correct them if your family misbehaved. That's what happened with Gurpegui. He has never played for Osasuna, he's Navarrian, but he can only say his opinion about our team: Osasuna. But he should keep quiet as he is the player of another team and one of the most hatred rivals of Osasuna. My friend and I have always talked bad about those people who work for Osasuna to search for new players in our land or other "countries". There are many examples of their "mistakes" and the price Osasuna had to pay for them. And part of Izco's reply was right too, as I said, but he should think of their politics and change it. It deserves to pay a better salary to people you breed than to buy a foreign player and give them a huge amount of money ( or a coach, like Camacho ). Well, I have extended so far...I'm going to finish. My only pain for the game this afternoon is to see how many Navarrian players will be on the side of Athletic and I am sure it wouldn't cost a lot to keep some of them in Osasuna. Gora Osasuna!Aupa Rojillos!

Athletic-Osasuna, a derby before a worldwide "clasico"

Good afternoon, dear Osasunists!Osasuna and Athletic play this evening at San Mamés stadium one of the tensest derbies in the last seasons due to some previous interviews ( overall Muniain's ) and the well-known politics of the club from Bilbao.

However, both team have more important reasons to do their best in the pitch as they need to fix their position in the actual competition. Athletic must go on their success at home and make their supporters forget last defeat in Madrid.

Perhaps, apart from being a derby and the interest the match arises itself, Osasunists would like to see the first victory away at a hostile stadium like San Mames. A difficult victory that our team didn't get since last March 31st and the team have only got a point in the first 11 games this season.

During the week, the team from Pamplona have been training without the scorer Pandiani, but it seems that the Uruguayan forward will be part of the kickoff team Camacho will use this afternoon, as Aranda is injured and "our loved" coach doesn't like players like Sola, Calleja o Lolo ( who recommended them, then????? ). At least, Monreal is back too and perhaps Lekic has already improved his selfconfidence and may be that scorer some say.

As we said, there are permanent topics that come out when these teams confront, like the number of Navarrians who play in both teams. There is a newspaper from Madrid, a fascist one, which is proud to show every white team match against Athletic the heading of "once españoles" against xxxx,etc. The reality is that the only actual Navarrians who already played in Osasuna or were in their orbit are Orbaiz and Javier Martinez. But another truth is that some players, like Muniain, should be more careful with their words.

I know he is a future star in La Liga, it is clear that he played very well in some games, but it is a fact that he has not achieved anything yet. He is an outlander and showoff person ( I got a comment from an ex-student, an Athletic fan, who lives in Txantrea, and was an Iker's friend. I say "was" because Muniain consider his childhood friends of "a low category he already achieved" and he "no longer waste his time with so pitiful people" ) who does not know how to behave in front of a microphone.

Due to my personal relations I usually travel to Bilbao and have many friend there, apart from my girlfriend, and they usually talk volumes about the politics of their club. Some say that they would like to have a team only full of Bizkaian people (a quimera ) and some other show off as Muniain does, but in the end the reality is that Lezama doesn't work as they expected, and they finally buy players from many places of "Euskal Herria" and friend clubs like Txantrea ( the original club of Muniain ), Pamplona C.D. and other in Navarra.

All in all, we'll see what happens this evening in Bilbao. Caparros's kickoff team may be: Iraizoz ( Navarrian ); Iraola ( Gipuzkoan ), Aurtenetxe ( Bizkaian ), Amorebieta ( Venezuelan ) and San José ( Navarrian ); Gurpegui ( Navarrian ), Javi Martínez ( Navarrian ), Susaeta ( Gipuzkoan ) and Muniain ( Navarrian ) ; Llorente ( Navarrian ) and Toquero ( Alavan ).
GORA OSASUNA!AUPA ROJILLOS!
p.s: I WILL TALK ABOUT TOMORROW'S MATCH.....TOMORROW!!!!!!

Osasuna-Athletic, more than a derby

Good evening, dear Osasunists! Here we are again, a consecutive Monday evening for Osasuna ( but I'm not talking any longer about the useless of matches in the week, as there have been many comments in the news and the papers in the last fortnight ).

Today my article is about the football schools and philosophy from both clubs. I usually listen to some radio stations and football reporters about their admiration to the club from Bilbao ( of course, they never refer to it with the name of the city and in the event they forget, they always apologize for their mistake ). Last week it was in RNE during Sunday matches and they said they admired Athletic for their politics of contracts and the philosophy of playing with home players!!

This is my point: home players? Lezama vs Tajonar ( the names of both team schools ). Lezama is a good school, Tajonar too, but there are some facts to explain. There are few players from Bilbao who have played or play in Osasuna, but it's the opposite at Athletic Club. This season there are 17 Navarrian players between First Division and Second B League in Athletic Club. Meanwhile, there are 20 Navarrians between First Division and Second B league in Osasuna.

I always agree with people from Bilbao and fans of their club that footballers, as any other employees look for their best and search the best contract of their lives, but there are some politics which I will never accept. I won't say that goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz (Ansoáin)- from Espanyol-, the defender from Liverpool Mikel San José(Villava), Carlos Gurpegui ( Andosilla ), from La Txantrea or Ion Velez ( Tafalla ) from Lezama; the rest were taken from Osasuna somehow: midfielders Pablo Orbaiz (Elcano), Javi Martínez (Ayegui), and Iñaki Muñoz (Pamplona). Besides, the last best young player from Lezama, born in Navarra and their friend club Iker Muniain ( 22 matches with the first team now ) and Iñigo Pérez too.

There are also other players who weren't born in Navarre ( Fernando Llorente was born in Pamplona, but he always lived in Logroño ), but there were others who aren't from Pamplona and played in Osasuna ( that second rule Athletic managers follow: people who are connected to the region somehow: David López and Koikili are two good examples ).

Their reasons are different in many cases to leave Pamplona or Osasuna, but there are many open wounds in Osasuna hearts. The problem is that it can be even worse, as there are more young players from Navarra in Lezama: defenders Borka Ekiza (Pamplona, 1988) and Mikel Santamaría (Pamplona, 1987), midfielders Javier Eraso (Pamplona, 1990), Adrien Goñi (Pamplona, 1988, debuted last season ) and Iván Miñes (Tudela, 1990); the forwards Arkaitz Ruiz (Pamplona, 1989), Julen Goñi (Pamplona, 1989) and Ismael López(Pamplona, 1990, who left Tajonar at a very young age). Adrien Goñi, Iñigo Pérez and Ismael are three out of five most used players in Second B team.

Anyway, I already talked about the rivalry and brotherhood of both teams, so that won't be any argument now, but any match or confrontation between Athletic and Osasuna make supporters nervous and envious. This season their evolution has been different, from a good start in Osasuna to avoid relegation as always; and from a bad start in Bilbao and Europe aspirations at the end of the League. It's easier for us to hurt Athletic supporters with a good result this evening than the opposite. Players from Bilbao don't get a victory away since last December 13th, in Zaragoza ( 1-2 ).

Possible kickoff teams: ( Navarrians in black )
Osasuna: Ricardo; Azpilicueta, M. Flaño, Sergio, Monreal; Ruper, Vadocz; Juanfran, Masoud, Camuñas; Pandiani.
Athletic de Bilbao: Iraizoz; Ustaritz, S. Jose, Amorebieta, Koikili; D. Lopez, J. Martinez, Orbaiz, Gabilondo; Llorente, Toquero.

AUPA ROJILLOS! GORA OSASUNA!
