Athletic gave Iker Muniain an award worthy of the captain. He reviewed his career in front of more than 20,000 people, filled with emotional videos, photos and the presence of coaches and friends. He received the heat from the fans and left the door open to return in the future.
The easiest thing for him to do was to renew, so all my appreciation for a brave decision that took a toll on the family. A legend is leaving, a great captain giving the armband to another great reference: Óscar de Marcos.
Atlético de Madrid’s victory over Celta combined with Athletic’s draw against Osasuna leaves Valverde’s team with no real options to play in the Champions League. At least they avoided defeat at home to go 20 consecutive games without losing at San Mamés in the same season, something that has never happened in the centenary of red and white history.
The strength of the team at La Catedral has been key to having a great campaign with the title and return to Europe in between.
