FC Barcelona and Athletic Club are just 90 minutes away from making history. That's what both are looking for at the last episode of the Super Cup of Spain 2015, which takes place this Monday August 17, at 22:00 hours, where the Catalans can lift his fifth title of the year or, the other way around, Athletic win its first title in 31 years.

Excitement and football will be served in a game hosted at the Camp Nou and will be the continuation of the first leg in which the "rojiblancos" signed an astonishing 4-0.  A same ending pursued by the two clubs, but with different paths for each team, since Luis Enrique Martinez men only think about the comeback while Ernesto Valverde team will advocate maintaining the advantage of the first leg and hold up the result.

FC Barcelona will face the match without Neymar Jr., still recovering, and doubtful Jérémy Mathieu. Athletic, meanwhile, although Mikel San Jose scored the first goal in the first leg, will be doubtful until the last moment and could add to the injuries already known as Iñaki Williams, Iker Muniain and Ander Iturraspe. Athletic manager has called all his players for this match, so they can live together achieving the title, in case that the "rojiblancos” can keep the outcome of the first leg.
