Athletic Bilbao vs Rangers: A Decisive Clash for a Place in the Europa League Semi-Finals
In the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, Athletic Bilbao will host Rangers tonight at San Mamés Stadium. The first leg in Glasgow ended in a goalless draw (0–0), making tonight"s match crucial.
Despite being reduced to 10 men early in the first match, Rangers held on thanks to a crucial penalty save by goalkeeper Liam Kelly. Athletic, meanwhile, dominated possession with 72% and had 19 shots, but failed to find the net.
Notably, Athletic Bilbao has won all five of their home matches in the Europa League this season, scoring 12 goals. However, star striker Iñaki Williams remains doubtful for tonight due to an injury sustained in the last match.
Rangers have lost only once in their last 10 away games, with that defeat coming in January against Manchester United. Head coach Barry Ferguson has called this match the most important of the season.
The winner will face either Manchester United or Lyon in the semi-finals.
