Intense day of the Athletic first team on the penultimate day of 2024. Valverde’s players first trained in San Mamés and then fulfilled a Christmas tradition that dates back many years and greatly delights the little ones who were there in the these important dates. The lions, as reported by the Bilbao club itself, were divided into groups to go to Cruces, Basurto and IMQ centers in Zorrouzarre.
The purpose of these visits is nothing but, according to Ibaigane, “to convey to the children and people who are hospitalized their encouragement, greetings, wishes for a speedy recovery and give some gifts.” Athletic players, in this way, shared their time with these small and insignificant patients. The lions, in addition to joy and closeness, also left them some small details in a red and white key.
