Ahead of the game with Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman spoke the press about his club's objectives for the match and the rest of the season.

Barcelona vs Athletic: match preview

"We had the chance to beat Athletic in both of our two previous meetings with them," Koeman began.

"In the Super Cup, they won and we know that they are strong physically, especially from set-pieces. They perform to a high level and we'll need to be focused.

"In both of our last two games against them we created chances and we have to put them away.

"We've improved when we don't have the ball and looked more focused in recent games. We have to continue that way. It's important that we don't give away any unnecessary fouls for them to capitalise on from free-kicks."

Koeman said his Barca squad, who have won their last four league games and have also reached the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, need some reinforcements after players such as Luis Suárez and Ivan Rakitic left the club last year.

"We've made many changes this season, we've made a bet on young players and right now we're not able to win many things. We must be realistic about where we're coming from and the changes we've made," he said.

Barça beat Athletic Bilbao 3-2 in their last league meeting earlier this month but then lost to the Basques after extra-time in the Spanish Super Cup final.

Athletic are in ruthless form under new coach Marcelino, winning their last five games in all competitions. They thrashed Getafe 5-1 in their last league outing.
