Bilbao's Etxeberria admits "spirits low" ahead of Real Madrid clash

Athletic Bilbao winger Joseba Etxeberria admits the players are low going into Thursday's crunch game against Real Madrid.

After defeat at home by Malaga, Etxeberria admitted: "The spirit in the dressing isn't good at the moment."

"But we must forget the Malaga game and concentrate on Real Madrid. We know that if we play to our best we can beat anyone - including Real Madrid."

"The pressure is good. It can motivate you to correct your faults. If we go into the Real Madrid game with confidence I believe we can win."
