This Athletic has no ceiling

Recently it has become difficult to describe Athletic without falling into repetition. There seems to be no more than enough adjectives to describe what the team achieves in all the competitions in which it is immersed. The last of the joys, now added to a long list; This past Wednesday when the red and white team achieved their fifth victory in the Europa League with good solvency.

This time, the lions’ victim was José Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe, who had to resort to dirty play to try to stop Athletic. Although it is Inaki Williams managed to overtake the team twice, the success also resides in an impressive performance of the whole team and of course in a perfect strategy of Ernesto Valverde who, even if he did not make many rounds that maybe is expected after the victories against Real Madrid and Villarreal hit the head again.

The equipment is plugged in. They all come together with a common goal and do their duty whenever the opportunity arises. Rotations work and the team continues to work ‘quietly’, without making too much noise and focusing on the task itself without looking too much at others. It is therefore no coincidence that Athletic are one of the strongest teams in Europe today. In La Liga it occupies the 4th position, only six points behind the lead currently held by FC Barcelona,​​​​​​​​​​​​and in European competition the team almost qualified for the round of 16. Successes that impresses and allows Athletic and its fans to dream big about the Europa League final to be held in San Mamés on May 21.

Some even dared to go further and raise the possibility that the Rojiblancos will also win the League title. Although a priori these are big words, it’s always good to be ambitious without taking your feet off the ground.

Right now, Athletic is on the right track to achieve great things. The game and the results of the team invite you to be happy and dream, even without losing your head and working as before.
