Mikel Balenziaga’s round figure at Athletic

Mikel Balenziaga reached a round figure yesterday in the match against Betis played in San Mamés that ended with a local triumph (3-2). The Zumarraga side played his 300th game as a lion, 231 in the League, 29 in the Cup, 28 in the Europa League, 8 in the Champions League and 4 in the Super Cup.

As usual this season, the Gipuzkoan started on the left-handed side of the defense. At the beginning he suffered with Canales, but finally he played a good game. They also had them with Nabil Fekir, the best of the verdiblanco set.

At 33 years old, the Zumarraga defender joins the group of 46 players who have played 300 or more official matches dressed as rojiblanco. In the current squad, only three footballers have achieved it: Iker Muniain (475 games), Oscar de Marcos (438) e Iñaki Williams (314).
