Iker Muniain: 'We are focused on Champions League'

Muniain: 'We are focused on CL'

Athletic Bilbao forward Iker Muniain has insisted that the Basque outfit are fully concentrated on the Champions League despite their poor league form.

Bilbao have taken just four points from their six league games this season, with that total leaving them languishing in 16th position in the La Liga table.

However, Muniain has said that their focus is fully on tonight's Champions League clash against BATE Borisov.

"The team is fine and we can't wait for the game, although we need to change our mindset as we've underperformed in the league," he told reporters at a press conference.

"However, there is no cause for alarm because we are fully focused on the Champions League and it would lift morale if we were to beat BATE after our recent results."

Bilbao drew their first Champions League group match 0-0 against Shakhtar Donetsk.
