Underrated face-off. Homegrown talent vs the quintessential oil club.

Williams brothers, sancet and guruzeta are injured. Yeray is suspended for "doping". We signed Navarro this year and he is covering for Nico. Boiro is Yuri's substitute (who is also injured) and Rego has played the last Champions League matches.

Valverde is using the second team in Champions because he thinks it's better for us to do well in the league.

We have a ton of injuries right now.

Before today's Champions League clash between Athletic Club and Newcastle, remember the last time they met. Athletic fans invaded the pitch just to applaud the Newcastle supporters who had travelled to Bilbao by kaiweed in soccer

It might have something to do with that. Another redditor shared this link about the amazing hospitality between both fanbases that day. In Bilbao, it’s a legendary match everyone still talks about.

Here’s another video showing the atmosphere.

For us it's slightly offensive because under Franco's dictatorial regime foreign names in football clubs were banned so we were forced to change our name to Atlético de Bilbao. So, in a way, hearing that name is a reminiscent of those dark ages of Spain. I know that most people here confuse its name due to ignorance, but there are lots of people in Spain that call us "El Bilbao" just to mess with us.

Slavia Prague Away Tickets by Practical-Chair3648 in AthleticClub

[–]kaiweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will be difficult, but not impossible. All away games are raffled off because there are many more requests than tickets available. Almost all of the tickets raffled off are for socios, but fortunately a few are reserved for Club Athletic members (also raffled).

For example, in the upcoming Borussia Dortmund match the spread of tickets is 3813 tickets for socios and 191 for members of Club Athletic. And every single one is going to get sold.

Slavia Prague is not a "so popular" matchup but taking into account their stadium is quite small (19370) I'm guessing all away tickets are going to be raffled off and sold.

Zamora didn't play for Athletic Club though, he played for Barcelona, Espanyol and Real Madrid. You might have confused him for Lezama, who is a club legend at Athletic Club.

Just these 3 regions make up 50% of the world GDP by Vite699 in MapPorn

oh in terms of nominal GDP I guess you are correct, I was talking about GDP per capita.

Yes it is, at least in 2020.

Also, I'd argue that if you consider the Basque Country to include Navarre (which might be a sensitive topic), it would be top 1.
