Do you remember Athletic 3-0 Real in the 2005-06 League?

Opening game of that season. San Mamés to bursting in full Aste Nagusia. Mendilibar’s debut on the rojiblanco bench and with Amorrortu on the Real.

Gaizka Garitano played for the San Sebastian team. Yeste wore the captain’s armband for the first time. Etxebe gave it to him when he was substituted. Luis Prieto scored his first goal in the League and Athletic was the leader for two weeks. There was a break.

It was the most positive, at least in qualifying, of the Mendilibar era at Athletic. It was a great victory that hopefully can be repeated on Sunday.
