Athletic Bilbao skipper Orbaiz: Best Real Madrid team since Los Galacticos

Athletic Bilbao captain Pablo Orbaiz rates the current Real Madrid team the best they've had since the Galacticos era.

Bilbao face Real today.

Midfielder Orbaiz said: "To win at a ground like this is special. It's clear that they have a very fast and very strong team who create a lot of chances and it's difficult to beat them, but Real Madrid have always been like that.

"I've played against (Zinedine) Zidane, Ronaldo, (Luis) Figo, and those players are at the same level of those who they have now.

"Real Madrid always have a great team, and this season is the same. We are, as always, going there with plenty of respect but with all the hope in the world to have a good game.

"We know it's a difficult place to go, but we're not going to gift them anything. We hope to have a good day and things go well."
