Sporting v Bilbao and the other semi

Really looking forward to the final.

Like Madrid but this Athletic team deserve to win it as they are brilliant.

Phenomenal match. The intensity, speed and attacking intent from both sides was just ridiculous. Fantastic what Bielsa has done at Athletic.

Right chuffed for Bilbao.

Hope they go on and win it.

Really enjoyed what I saw of it.. just made a brew and some toast and all set to watch Steven Seagal save the world !

So, this could be another cup competition where we were knocked out by the eventual winners

Bilbao especially play a fantastic style, much prefer watching them to Barca or Madrid.

Same here, much more aggressive in their attacking style, shame they won't make it into the champions league.

Relevance ....... This has none

I'm looking forward to the final.

Bilbao's ground is a proper ground too, shame they're leaving, fantastic atmosphere.

The problem in football is teams like Bilbao never really progress to doing well in the Champions League or get close to winning their domestic leagues because the big clubs will sign their players, although Dortmund have managed to keep hold of their players and win the league again so maybe Bilbao can keep hold of their players, especially if they win the Europa League or Copa Del Rey.
