Iñaki Williams sets sights on Champions League glory

Ghanaian international Iñaki Williams is confident that Athletic Club is on the right track, and he’s eager to lead the team to greater heights especially in the Champions League next season.

Under the guidance of Spanish manager Ernesto Valverde, Athletic Bilbao has become a delight to watch over the past few seasons.

The club’s impressive performances in La Liga have earned them a coveted spot in the Champions League for the first time since the 2014/15 season, courtesy of their fourth-place finish.

Although they were eliminated by Manchester United in the Europa League semifinals, Athletic Bilbao’s strong showing has left a lasting impact, bolstering their case for a successful Champions League campaign next season.

As the team continues to grow and develop, the Black Star forward believes their performances will be recognized on the biggest stages in European football.

“We know that as we continue growing as a team, our performance is being recognized, and we hope that next season we can put together a good campaign in the Champions League,”.
