What They're Saying

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos (via Inside Spanish Football): "Over the years, I've gradually been dropping further back and that's okay for me. At Real Madrid, it's important we have the right balance. Normally, we have a lot of players with pure attacking mentalities on the field, so for me it becomes almost secondary to contribute in attack."

Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde (via Inside Spanish Football): "Given all the weapons at their disposal, we must also exhaust all our own options and possibilities."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Despite not joining the attack, Kroos has been instrumental in Real Madrid's success this campaign. In 25 league appearances, the 25-year-old has seven assists and an average of 2.5 tackles.

Athletic Bilbao's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Iraizoz; Balenziaga, Laporte, Etxeita, Marcos; Rico, Gurpegi; Muniain, Benat, Susaeta; Aduriz

Real Madrid's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Casillas; Marcelo, Pepe, Varane, Carvajal; Silva, Kroos, Isco; Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale
