The one in Balaídos was not just another match for Iker Muniain, although the rojiblanco captain usually relativizes the records he set during his time as a lion. Navarrese played his 400th League match against the Bilbao team yesterday. This participation breakdown can also be summarized as 27,622 minutes, 148 complete games, 317 starts, 157 wins, 104 draws, 139 losses, 54 goals, 59 yellow cards and two expulsions.
Muniain, 30, is the third player in Athletic history with the most official matches played in the red and white jersey; but as far as League competition is concerned it is in fifth position. Iribar (466), Joseba Etxeberria (445), Txetxu Rojo (414) and Iraola (406) are still ahead of the Navarrese.
