Muniain: looking to delay Real Madrid's title party

Los Blancos are currently seven points in front of Barcelona with only three games to go and look certain to win their first league trophy since 2008. However, the teenage attacker is looking to earn a positive result against Madrid, although he admits the match will be difficult. "It's a game that will require a lot. We will go for it and look to delay [Madrid winning the title]. They are playing for the league but we always wear the shirt with pride and at San Mames, there's too much at stake," Muniain told reporters at a press conference. Bilbao lost to Real Zaragoza at the weekend and the 19-year-old admits it will now be difficult for the Basques to secure the fourth and final Champions League spot. "It's a shame [that we lost]. It is complicated but we will try to get as high as possible. Let's go for it in all the remaining games and get the most points possible, even if it is to secure fifth place," he added. Athletic are currently seventh in the Primera Division, seven points behind Valencia and Malaga who occupy the third and fourth spots respectively with three games to go.
