The ‘expert’ of Athletic in Barça

Iñaki Williams He must be one of the important men today in the round of 16 tie for the Cup in a single match that will be played in San Mamés starting at half past nine at night. The forward has taken the measure to Barça. At least that’s what their numbers say. The culé team is the one that has scored the most goals in his entire career in the elite since he made the jump to the rojiblanco first team in the 2014-15 season.

Athletic’s ‘9’ has scored a total of six goals against the Catalans, some of them very important, such as the one that awarded the Super Cup title last year at the La Cartuja stadium with that great goal by the entire squad at the start of the extension that served to achieve the last trophy that has reached the showcases of the Ibaigane entity or the one that gave the pass to the semifinals of the KO tournament in the 2019-19 season. When it seemed that the match, also in a single match, would go into extra time, the player from Bilbao combed his head to the far post of the goal defended by Ter Stegen a poisoned center put from the right band by Ibai Gómez. It was minute 93 and the fans exploded with joy.

The lion has scored another four goals for the Barça team, although this time they did not find the desired prize. Three in the Cup, one in the lost final in the 2014-15 campaign, another in the quarterfinals of 2015-16 and the third in the second round of the following year, all favorable to tonight’s rival. The fourth corresponds to LaLiga, when he scored 1-0 in Bilbao last year, already with Marcelino as a coach, who later came back for Barça thanks to Pedri and the double materialized by Messi.

Betis is another of his ‘favorite’ teams. He has scored a total of six goals against the Verdiblancos, the last two this season in a 3-2 win.
