“Unfortunately, in the middle of the crowd there are usually people hidden who are not fans of football or anything, who don’t care about everything and have no respect for anything.” In this way, Jon Uriarte, president of Athletic, spoke to the microphones of Movistar Plus about the incidents committed by violent people at the gates of San Mamés after the reception of Valverde’s team. The ertzaina who were present on the esplanade leading to the stadium had to retreat inside the stadium itself to protect themselves from the violent crowd who were trying to break down the metal gates.
“We at the Athletic Club are against any expression of violence and the attitude of some fans that unfortunately managed to tarnish a reception that was so beautiful,” said Uriarte.
The president emphasized his idea that “the reception was very good. All over the city we felt the support of the fans and it was raining. As we approached San Mamés, many people were waiting for the team. There were all kinds of encouragement, applause and scream in favor of the team”. All this, yes, before the incidents described.
