Not for a long time

There is no record of a possible greeting between Marcelino and Embroider in San Mamés. The Athletic coach, in fact, missed Getafe's goal, since by the time he jumped to the bench area the 0-1 had already risen to the scoreboard. Cucurella He seemed ready to embitter the night for the Bilbao team.

Old quarrels from previous stages between the current coach of the Bilbao team and the manager of the Madrid club. The Asturian will have the memory of having been the first on the rojiblanco bench that makes Getafe kneel down. Bordalás. On the eighth it was victory.

The azulones had the detail of making the corridor of ‘super champions’ to Athletic for their not too distant title in Seville. MuniainAs team captain, he came out onto the pitch with the trophy, dedicated it to the empty stands of the stadium, and placed it on a kind of lectern located in one of the stands. You don't have to have too much imagination to know how such a special moment would have been lived at the Athletic stadium with the San Mamés fans in the stands. The coronavirus, to add insult to injury, far from loosening continues to push harder and harder every day.

The fans and fans of the Bilbao team at least have the consolation of having attended, via television, of course, a spectacular comeback of the lions against a very uncomfortable and rocky rival that yesterday was neither one thing nor another. The azulones tried with all their weapons, but Athletic came out responsive.

They say that football is a state of mind and it sure is. Not many weeks ago, with 0-1 at 17 seconds, more than one would have thrown in the towel. Outside the safe green and inside maybe internally too. The goal was one of the pending subjects of the lions. The strategy, another.

Muniain and Raul Garcia they returned to prove the opposite. The captain acts as an assistant and the Navarrese as a ‘matador’. But it is that if in Ibiza it was Nuñez the one who joined the filmmaker party, in this duel against Getafe was Yeray the one who joined the car. His first goal as an Athletic footballer just a few hours after turning 26. Zorionak!
