Athletic Club suffered a painful defeat in San Mamés against Valencia in a match marked by the injury of Nico Williams and by the decisive goal of Umar Sadiq, scorer of the goal that gave the Valencian team. The night left a strange atmosphere in La Catedral: frustration over the defeat, concern about the physical condition of the red-and-white winger and a feeling of a lost opportunity for an Athletic team that was forced to win to continue dreaming of Europe.
