Marcelino said, "The players are on top form, they're like cannons.

"They're going to give their all to win.

"You don't have to pay attention to motivation for this game. They have the chance to be champions and to do it by beating Real Madrid and Barcelona... I was going to swear... it'd be really something."

Athletic's last trophy came with a Supercopa victory over Barcelona in 2015, when Ernesto Valverde's side prevailed over two legs.

"Barcelona are used to winning lots of trophies in a season and Athletic have fewer chances [of winning trophies]," the Athletic boss said.

"Those chances that we do have, we have to do everything possible to take them. This is what these players are going to do - give their all for this trophy.

"The Supercopa is Athletic's last trophy and we're going to try to do everything possible to win it again."
