Athletic’s winning dynamic remains unchanged. Valverde’s team is unstoppable. La Real stopped for a quarter of an hour, which brought them a vertical counterattack between Nico Williams and Yuri which was finished by Berenguer, the other big winner of the day. Third game without Iñaki, third victory that cannot be appealed. This team is very serious. Europe is the goal.
There are already 41 points. Time to sing “Saved!” Another year at First. But now even the word Europe is falling. Or we are not from Bilbao. What the hell, it’s time to fight for the Champions League, we’re third.
Athletic broke the classification. It opened a gap as big as those made on the knees and foreheads in the gravel squares playing platoon in the 70s. At least ten points to seventh, Betis, and nine to Real, sixth. We still have a cushion in the colchoneros – with one less game, that is.
License to dream
I left San Mamés very happy, in fact, I didn’t even remember the average goal, for what. With this ambition, this intensity, this verticality and this punch, few rivals can match us. We can dream, we are within our rights. Fifth victory in a row. Collected 24 of the last 30 points.
All the starting players offered a higher performance than last season. And what can be said about Galarreta. It’s good that you came, Iñigo. He presses, strikes, steals, helps from short or deep, to the feet or from space, he offers himself, he shoots… He is the man who carries the fire of the red-and-white tribe. What heights would this boy have reached without the three serious injuries he sustained. His leading role in the growth of this Athletic is unquestionable.
