The number 10 of the Basques dreams: “Winning a European title with this team would be incredible”
Athletic is gearing up for the super showdown against Roma on Thursday, where a comeback will be needed to advance to the quarter-finals of the Europa League: “We want to continue to dream,” is the motto of the Basques who have set their hearts on the final on May 21st right at San Mames. In the video released by the UEFA Europa League and Athletic themselves, motivational words from Nico Williams: “Playing in a European competition is always special. The atmosphere at San Mamés is incredible.” I had never experienced it until recent times, a packed San Mamés stadium with the anthem of the Europa League is simply astounding. Scoring a goal on home ground is one of the most exhilarating feelings. Obviously, we understand how important this is; the finale is being played on our home ground, we want to be there, we’re exuding tremendous enthusiasm, just like the fans. Winning an Europa League, a European title, with Athletic, would be incredible for me and everyone. “Many people here deserve it, people who have been here many more years than me. It would be a moment I would never forget”. Sorry, you didn’t provide a text to translate. Could you please provide it?
