Return the Europa League. Return the "little girl" UEFA, and does so with a match between two historic teams of two of the best leagues in the world. Marseille receives Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of the knockout phase. Two teams with the imprint of Marcelo Bielsa, whose last two teams will meet at this junction.

The home side, who arrives with a situation inappropriate for French league history, know that in the Champions League has an escape before the season made. However, Marseille Michel seems more focused on soar in Ligue 1 than start in the Europa League Football . The Michel know that an unfavorable outcome in its field, the Velodrome, would practically fall eliminated first of change, as its rival, the Athletic Club, has been quite safe at home.

In turn, the Athletic de Valverde has a very focused mind in this competition, because even though in the domestic competition are European places, this classification is very expensive. Therefore, the Bilbao set looking at its fastest Europa League Europe next season access, which would be nothing more and nothing less than the Champions League. The Basques have a Aritz Aduriz in a state impressively, knocking on the doors of the Spanish team for the European Championship this summer. Athletic knows that a good result at the Velodrome would leave virtually sealed his move to the second round, so likely will the attack.

In games like this, it's always difficult to predict results, but in this case we'd bet on the victory of Athletic Club 1-2, although it is possible tie between the teams.

The assembly will host the first leg of this tie is attractive, in fact, the only Bavarian box able to withstand the relentless pace of Bayern Munich Guardiola, who could give the Bundesliga and won not have such a dogged pursuer and much potential as directed by Thomas Thuchel. Reliability of this campaign allows them to follow eight points of the current German champion while waiting for a slip to return to put them squarely in contention for the league crown.

Turning to European competition, it should be noted that domestic wear Dortmund took the set to make a group stage somewhat below its level, although this was more than enough to get through the current round. Second group with 10 points, the German team owes much of its good European ask your stylus on offense and one of the players of the moment, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. And the Gabonese comes in the final tournament with a record of 20 goals in as many Bundesliga matches and four goals in his four appearances in Europe League. All a threat by the talent of Reus, Gundogan Mkhitaryan and Kagawa for the Portuguese goal defended by Iker Casillas.

On the other hand, the 'Dragons' come spurred after his important victory last Friday in the Portuguese Primeira Liga against Benfica. In exmadridista keeper Casillas as one of the major players in the positive, those of José Peseiro they beat 1-2 at the Da Luz Stadium in Lisbon to return strongly to the struggle for the Portuguese championship. Porto lies with this win six points behind leaders Sporting Lisbon, a goal to reach the big time Hector Herrera, Brahimi talent or scoring ability of Aboubakar, all equally great arguments for thinking that leave Borussia Dortmund ditch is more than possible.

The Spanish team finished in second place in Group E with 13 points, above the Viktoria Plzen of Czech Republic (4) and Dinamo Minsk of Belarus (3). Rapid Vienna of Austria won the group with 15 points. Villarreal played 6 games, winning four, drawing one and losing one. In the group stage they scored 12 goals and received 6.
