In the early hours of Friday morning, the suspense of the Copa del Rey final was revealed! Bilbao made a strong run to the final with a clean 3-0 win at home against Sporting Madrid. In the next two rounds of the competition, they even won easily with a score of 4-0 to compete with Mallorca. In the match, Bilbao's "Williams Brothers" - Nicol Williams and Inaki Williams - successfully tore through the defense of Sporting Madrid by virtue of their tacit understanding of each other, which became a good story on the field.
This season, Bilbao has been performing well in La Liga and is currently ranked fifth in the league. In the Copa Libertadores, they have gone all the way to the top, and in this match, they are hosting Marco Polo with a 1-0 advantage. In the second half, Gurusta's goal sealed the win for Bilbao, and it was the third time in the past five seasons that they reached the Western Conference final.
Inaki, 29, and Nicho, 21, are both international players, but they differ in their national team choices.In 2022, Inaki chose to become a naturalized Ghanaian and represent the Ghanaian national team, while Nicho continues to play for the Spanish national team. The brothers have been the most impressive players in the Bilbao team this season. Inaki said after the game, "Nicko and I have been training hard to do well together. This victory makes me very proud."
