The Athletic Club: The Athletic Club of Bilbao aims to reach the semifinals of a European competition for the third time in their history when they face Glasgow Rangers in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals on Thursday night.

The San Mames stadium is sold out as fans hope for another night of European magic after overturning a 2-1 first-leg deficit with a 3-0 win over Roma in the last round.

With San Mames hosting this season's final, this is Athletic's chance to improve on their previous best performances in the competition, having been a beaten finalist in 1977 and 2012, reports Xinhua.
