Nico Williams runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Héctor Cano breaks a bone — 35 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Unai Simón in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Athletic Bilbao this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Aitor Paredes falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match13 Mar 2027

Athletic Bilbao come up short against Espanyol

Espanyol left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad15 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Beñat Prados

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Héctor Cano breaks a bone — 42 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 42 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad8 Mar 2027

12 seasons of Iñaki Williams

431 appearances across 12 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Athletic Bilbao know what they have.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Yuri signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Yuri and Athletic Bilbao agree another 2 years.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Athletic Bilbao

Unai Simón was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match6 Mar 2027

Athletic Bilbao make home a hard place to visit

8 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Match6 Mar 2027

Athletic Bilbao get the job done against Mallorca

A 1‑0 win over Mallorca, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings8 Mar 2027

Maroan Sannadi takes the honours

Marked 7.73 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Athletic Bilbao had the best player on the pitch.

Player ratings8 Mar 2027

Nothing got past Íñigo Lekue

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 15 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Héctor Cano breaks a bone — 51 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 51 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Íñigo Lekue says Athletic Bilbao went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Unai Simón in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Athletic Bilbao this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match27 Feb 2027

Athletic Bilbao and Rayo Vallecano cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Rayo Vallecano came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
