Valladolid
Sunday’s football game at Estadio San Mames pits together Athletic Club and Real Valladolid, the two sides with entirely different ambitions for the season finale. The Lions are eyeing a spot in the Champions League, while La Pucela are fighting tooth and nail to avoid relegation. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but summer signing Alvaro Djalo remains in the recovery room. Fellow winger Nico Williams should be recalled to the starting XI.
Valladolid, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Sevilla and given their five-game losing run in the Spanish top flight, home win should be considered. In their last meeting at “San Mames”, Athletic Bilbao recorded a 3-0 win over Real Valladolid, who will be without suspended duo Anuar – Selim Amallah in Sunday’s showdown. Forward Marcos de Sousa is back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Iñaki Williams):
Inaki Williams is one of the most talented Spanish players. The pacey winger, who plays as a centre-forward as well, started his senior career at Basconia, scoring seven goals in 18 appearances for the club. In 2014 he moved to Athletic Bilbao, but he played for the reserve team at the beginning.
Inaki impressed in the 2014/2015 season with Athletic Bilbao B and, as a result, he was given a chance to prove his worth in the Spanish top flight with the first team. The Spanish footballer made his La liga debut on December 6, 2014, replacing injured attacker Aritz Aduriz in a 1-0 loss to Cordoba.
Inaki Williams represented Spain at the 2017 U21 European Championship in Poland and he played 20 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Germany in the final of the tournament. Speaking of the senior squad, the Athletic Bilbao footballer made his Spain debut in a 3-1 victory over Bosnia on May 29, 2016. Inaki Williams was born in Bilbao on June 15, 1994.
Highlighted Team (Valladolid):
Real Valladolid is a Spanish club based in Valladolid, the part of the autonomous community of Castille and Leon. Founded in 1928, Real Valladolid play their home matches at Jose Zorilla, the venue that has the capacity 26,512. La Pucela have yet to win the La Liga title, but it is important to note that they finished fourth at the end of the 1962/1963 season.
Real Valladolid made it to the Spanish Cup final on two occasions (1949/1950, 1988/1989). In 1984 they won Copa de la Liga (League Cup), which is considered the team’s biggest success. Speaking of their European records, Real Valladolid participated in the 1989/1990 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-finals.
La Pucela are well known for their purple and white shirts, but they are known for some top-class footballers as well. The likes of Diego Costa, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Borja Fernandez, Rene Higuita, Luis Garcia and Aritz Aduriz played for Real Valladolid in the past.
