Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, now has Marcelino Gracia at the helm of the club as the Spaniard replaced Gaizka Garitano last week. Marcelino's first match in charge ended up badly as the Basque outfit suffered a narrow 3-2 loss to Barcelona. Athletic Bilbao's manager will be looking to get his first win as the club's new manager and knocking out Real Madrid will be a perfect way for him to announce his arrival.
