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.
