In his opinion Athletic "deserve much merit, they play with people from their own place and are always pushing forward and pressing."
The question is if Ernesto Valverde will vary the club's usual style to cope with Barcelona.
"We know that in principle we expect the same high pressure, but maybe they will make a major change tomorrow. But in any case, we are used to this."
Lucho praised players like Aritz Aduriz and Aymeric Laporte, as well as the clubs tactics and strategy.
He also added, on Ander Iturraspe, the midfielder: "He is a breave player under pressure, he handles the ball well and can play it long or short. It's sure that in the future he will be wanted by other clubs."
