Athletic Bilbao defender Mikel Balenziaga insists that his side will overcome their poor start to the season.

Athletic Bilbao defender Mikel Balenziaga has expressed his confidence that the Basque outfit will overcome what has been a disappointing start to the season.

Bilbao have taken just four points from their six league games this season, with that total leaving them languishing in 16th position in the La Liga table.

However, the former Real Valladolid left-back has already switched his focus onto this week's Champions League group match against BATE Borisov.

"It's obvious we are not at our best in terms of our play, we are struggling to create chances. We have had possession of the ball and we have controlled the games, but we need to have those chances to score," the defender has been quoted as saying by Inside Spanish Football.

"We know that it is not easy to be [at the bottom of the table], but we are sure things will change soon enough. We will see if we can do well in Belarus and continue from there."

Bilbao drew their first Champions League group match at home to Shakhtar Donetsk.
