Iribar at presentation event

Jose Angel Iribar, a member of the Spain side that won the 1964 European Championships, joined Luis de la Fuente as he announced this provisional squad.

The Txopo was asked about a historic campaign in which Athletic Club qualified for next year's Europa League and ended a 40-year wait to lift the Copa.

"It's a great joy and we are celebrating in style," he said.

Iribar also had words of praise for Unai Simón, saying the Zurigorri shotstopper "has a lot of potential and is getting stronger".

He continued: "He has just won the Zamora trophy, he has had a great season and will be a force in this European Championship without any doubt."
