Speaking ahead of his team’s Europa League showdown against Roma, Athletic Club goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala admitted he’s eager for the fixture in the Italian capital.
The shot-stopper acknowledged that Thursday’s challenge will be a tough one for his side—but they’re eager to prove themselves against strong team.
“The Europa League is exciting, we’re off to a great start against a historic team,” he told Marca.
“It will be a complicated challenge but we want to give continuity to the last league matches. Roma are a great team, both with Juric and with the previous coach (De Rossi). We will give our best.”
Kick-off between the sides is scheduled for 21.00 CET on Thursday at the Stadio Olimpico.
