Aymeric Laporte: 'We can juggle three competitions'

Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte believes that the Basque side can balance La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Europa League in the next few weeks.

Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte is confident that the Basque outfit can juggle three competitions in the final months of the season.

Bilbao are currently in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, while they will face Torino in the first leg of their last-32 Europa League clash on Thursday.

Last season's top-four finishers in La Liga also have work to do in the league, with just five points separating them from the bottom three.

"The Europa League is a very important competition for us and this will be a nice game to play in. We'll really be going for this game. We have a lot of ambition, both in the Europa League and the Copa del Rey," Laporte has been quoted by Inside Spanish Football.

"We also have to think about La Liga, which is also very important. Right now though we have to think about Torino and we'll give everything we've got. We'll be trying to beat Torino, but then we'll also be trying to beat Rayo."

Bilbao drew 0-0 with Granada in the league at the weekend.
