Athletic Bilbao will face Real Sociedad in the Basque derby tonight—a crucial match for securing a top-four finish and Champions League qualification next season.

Additionally, since the top four La Liga teams will compete in the Super Cup next season, finishing fourth holds extra significance for Bilbao. They currently sit in fourth place with 60 points, but Villarreal (58 points) and Real Betis (56 points) are close behind.

Nico Williams, Athletic Bilbao’s star, warned his teammates today that the season is not over and securing a Champions League spot will be tougher than it seems. He said: “Our fate next season depends on this derby. It’s unfortunate, but we know we have a tough and emotional battle ahead. We still have a chance to reach the European final and win, even though we lost to United last time. Everything depends on this match. We will fight with everything we have. We must win this game and maintain our lead over Villarreal. A team with such great players and beautiful football deserves to be in the Champions League next season.”
