Nothing happened on previous occasions at the merengue coliseum.
Yoapart from rony, Athletic also got theirs last Thursday also in San Mamés. Osasuna, in the manner and manner of what was experienced two years ago in the same scenario, knocked out the lions in the KO tournament after playing a serious and effective match. Valverde’s team improved a lot in relation to what was offered first in Las Gaunas and then in Saudi Arabia against UD Logroñés and Barça, respectively. However, it also didn’t give them enough to topple the Reds.
RReturning to the path of success seems necessary for an Athletic accustomed to winning from one season to the end of last year. For the red and whites, insisting not to be left behind, the Christmas holidays did not go well. From the beginning of this season until December they had only three losses. In just the first half of January 2025, there are already two.
OrA blow to the table of lions seems obligatory. The sooner the better. Now in Balaídos, without walking further. The challenge comes because this Celta de Giráldez plays a lot of football and very well. You need to wake up.
