Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde admits he’s impressed by Torino after a shock elimination.
Toro emerged 3-2 winners at the San Mames, the first Italian side ever to win here after one draw and seven defeats.
“After equalising, we were unable to keep the game under control,” confessed the Athletic Coach.
“I have to compliment Torino. They have experience, are very strong and score goals. We made mistakes both on the penalty and on the Maxi Lopez goal, as we should’ve been more focused.”
Athletic Bilbao had knocked Napoli out of the Champions League preliminary round in August.
