Inaki Williams Leads Athletic Bilbao as Captain in La Liga Opener Against Getafe

Ghanaian striker Inaki Williams captained Athletic Bilbao in their La Liga season opener, which ended in a 1-1 draw against Getafe. Inaki played the full 90 minutes, demonstrating his leadership and experience on the field.

Athletic Bilbao took an early lead through Oihan Sancet, who scored just before the half-hour mark. However, Getafe’s Chrisantus Uche equalized in the second half after missing a key chance earlier in the game.

Nico Williams, Inaki’s younger brother, who has been attracting transfer interest from top clubs including Barcelona, came on as a substitute in the 72nd minute. He made an immediate impact but was denied a late winner by Getafe’s goalkeeper, David Soria.

As Athletic Bilbao prepares to face Barcelona on August 24th, both Williams brothers will be eager to make their mark, with Nico staying focused despite ongoing transfer speculation.
