The figure of Iñaki Williams always tends to bring controversy in the rojiblancos football groups. The Athletic player; indisputable for both Garitano and Marcelino, although the Asturian coach, unlike the deriotarra, only uses him as a center forward; has given life to the team during the last two years in both the Cup and the Super Cup.
This season, with the current coach already fully involved in the KO tournament, a goal from Williams headed the lions to come back against Alcoyano in the 78th minute of the match. The Bilbao striker also left his mark as a producer against Barcelona in the extension of the Super Cup final. The Athletic striker sentenced that match with a tremendous goal by Ter Stegen's goal squad in the 93rd minute.
Months before, with Garitano still sitting on the bench at San Mamés, this same rojiblanco footballer was also the executioner of the Catalans. Williams signed on that occasion a spectacular header that allowed the lions to go to the semifinals with his fans enjoying the beauty in the stands of the Bilbao stadium. Ibai, still unpublished with Marcelino in the Cup, gave the assistance.
