Osasuna head coach Vicente Moreno addressed the media ahead of the last game of the year against Athletic Club at El Sadar. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CET (5:30 p.m. GMT/12:30 p.m. ET). "Tomorrow, we have to be smart. It is an emotional game, without a doubt, but we have to be wise. In the end, in every aspect of life, you have to think with the head, so we need to be balanced and not make mistakes," more mentioned about the game.

He also said, "It is the perfect opponent to close 2024; experiencing a good game, with the family, at home, at El Sadar, wrapping up everything we have done so far, always mindful of where we are coming from, years and months because Osasuna has been on the right track for a while now. To close the year defeating a team that everyone is excited about – I know everyone gets giddy thinking about defeating them. We know they are challenging opponents sitting on Champions League spots, who will make it hard for us, and with one of the best LaLiga coaches." "All those things make it hard. However, our team likes to make people enjoy, so they will give their all to win this game because winning tomorrow's game will be a great way to close 2024."

Regarding the opponent, the rojillo coach highlighted, "It will be difficult; it is the reality. They have only lost three games, and we have lost four. They are on a hot streak, and so are we. Their streak is more impressive, but we are playing at El Sadar with our fans, and that's an edge for us, and we will need them. We will need our fans; we rely on them. Since I have been here, I have witnessed that when we are as one, pushing together, with the same goal in mind, we are a strong team and will make it difficult for them."
