Iago Herrerín was one of the great Athletic heroes in the 2019-20 Cup edition. The rojiblancos were practically eliminated in the penalty shoot-out against Elche, when the rojiblanco goalkeeper contributed his grain of sand by stopping the maximum penalty that would have meant the elimination of the team in the end finalist. The Bilbao goalkeeper risked advancing his position, the referee, without the help of the VAR, did not see anything wrong and the lions enjoyed a situation that later prevented them from reversing the situation.
One round later, however, he saw the red in the first minutes in Tenerife. Then he did not play again until the penultimate and last league game. This season has been spent in white.
Herrerín is part of the call for today's game against Elch
