Athletic Bilbao forward, Inaki Williams has revealed that they are aiming to qualify for Europe next season.
The 29-year-old said this after Bilbao scored a 1-1 draw with joint top league leader Girona with the Black Stars forward getting the equalizing goal for Athletic.
Williams converted Oihan Sanchet’s through ball in the 67th minute to cancel out Viktor Tsygankov’s goal for Girona in the 55th minute.
Speaking in a post-game interview with Bilbao’s official media channel, Williams communicated how proud he was of his team’s performance this season.
“We are looking at European positions. That is our objective. It is what we set at the beginning of the season. We were coming to the leader’s house which was not going to be easy but even so, I do believe that the team played a great game,” he said.
“We didn’t lose face in the game at any time and in the end, we enjoyed it on the field. I think that Athletic Sal, in the end, feels proud of the work we have been doing,” he added.
Athletic Bilbao sit 5th on the La Liga league log with 25 points and will host Rayo Vallecano at the San Mamés on Saturday.
