There are probably three teams on the planet that could overturn a 4-0 deficit at home against Athletic Bilbao. Unfortunately for the Basques, they are facing one of them.
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid might be able to do the job, but the one team you'd really plump for in this situation is Barcelona.
Athletic stormed to a shocking victory at a sodden San Mames on Friday, winning the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup. Aritz Aduriz scored a hat-trick as the champions of Spain and Europe fell pathetically short, perhaps disrupted by a rotated side and certainly tired from their travails in Georgia three days earlier against Sevilla.
