Don't pop the champagne until he plays, most likely he's going to be fucked over by not getting minutes for Barca B or the first team.

Valverde:
"Athletic are always a dangerous opponent."
"It's a special game for me, but at the same time, it's a dangerous one because Athletic always have a strong sense of spirit and the three points are really important for both teams."
"The final countdown has begun. There are only 10 games left. We want to go into the international break with a good result because we've got a busy April coming up and three trophies in play. Our season could boil down to that one month."
"It's always bad to lose players of [Busquets'] calibre."
"Busquets is fundamental for the team. He is the best player in the world in his position, so it's not easy to replace him, but there are alternatives -- [Ivan] Rakitic has played that role very well."
"Rakitic is having an extraordinary season. Maybe his role isn't as attacking as it was at Sevilla, but players do move around. They don't always stay in the same position. Rakitic is a very important player for us."
"Iniesta is a unique player. You can't compare him with anyone in the game. " Valverde said when asked if Alena, who scored one and made another in the B team's 2-2 draw with Numancia last weekend, could be the eventual heir to the current Barca captain.
"But I can say that Alena is a player with a very big future at this club -- there is no doubt about that."

How are the points important for Bilbao? They are as midtae as they come this season. No European football in sight and nowhere near relegation.
This should be a very clear 3/4-0 type win.

Nice words on Alena. Hope he'll play at least half an hour.
It's just one of those pressers cliches.
