A 2024 to remember for @AthleticClub and our fans! 🏆 First Copa victory in 4️⃣0️⃣ years 🥇 First Zamora Trophy in 5️⃣4️⃣ years; 🥈 for Yashin Trophy (Unai Simon) 👟 First ever Ballon d'Or nominee (@willliamsssnico) 🇪🇺 Finished year in last @ChampionsLeague spot #UniqueInTheWorld!

By the way, before 2024 ends. Thanks everyone for interacting, commenting, and even following this account. Everything started with @LaLigaMichael wondering if any Athletic accounts in English existed anymore around here, and I went ahead with it. 400 followers. Thank you guys.

FINAL: Athletic draws Vivian scores in the 92nd to make it 1-2 but a previous foul is called. A possible handball in the same play could've been called but it seems we're not important enough. Dull 2nd half from Athletic who should've scored another goal before Unai screwed up.

📣BOOK UPDATE: I’m excited to have received copies of the update/2nd edition of my book ‘Los Leones’. It includes an updated chapter about the #CopaDelRey win & the celebrations that followed (La Gabarra!). Eskerrik Asko to everyone who helped & bought a copy! #AthleticClub 🔴⚪️

December 5, 1976. Inaxio Kortabarria and José Ángel Iribar lead their teams out onto the field in the Basque Derby. Between them, they carry the Ikurriña - the then-illegal flag of the Basque Country. With General Franco dead and his fascist dictatorship in chaos, this act of empowerment, defiance and self-determination sent shockwaves across the Basque Country and Spain. 48 years to the day since this iconic moment in football history.

2 - Athletic Club are the only team to have beaten Real Madrid and Barcelona in all competitions in 2024. Lions.

Will Unai Simón regain his spot as starting goalkeeper? #AthleticClub

FINAL: Athletic WIN! First LaLiga win against Real Madrid since 2015! Julen saves the day with a wonderful penalty save and some more! The whole backline was superb as well! Guruzeta reacts with an instant goal to Madrid's equalizer and guides Athletic to 3 more points! 🦁

Massive win over Real Madrid! 🦁 #AthleticRealMadrid #UniqueInTheWorld

A great tradition

Vamooooooos ❤️🩶 That makes it 7 games unbeaten! Needless to say we all predicted a win this game 😎 Listen to our Basque derby preview: linktr.ee/pichichipod #UNIQUEINTHEWORLD #AthleticRealSociedad #AthleticClub #LaLiga

🔥 STARTING XI: ● Djaló covers the 9 position. Golden opportunity. ● Sancet is truly back. We celebrate it! ● Galaxy and Prados in the midfield ● The more experienced cover the defensive positions. Paredes on the bench. ● Unai may be back, but not fully fit. Julen time 🧤

Athletic = 9 canteranos Real Sociedad = 4 canteranos
