Inaki Williams and Nico Williams seal Copa del Rey final for Athletic Bilbao

Inaki Williams and Nico Williams were in the spotlight on Thursday night as Athletic Club defeated Atletico Madrid to secure a spot in the 2023/24 Copa del Rey final.

The two brothers played crucial roles in Bilbao’s 3-0 victory at San Mames, with both contributing to the scoreline. Their performance helped Ernesto Valverde’s side comfortably overcome Atletico.

Athletic Club had the upper hand going into the second leg after winning 1-0 at Wanda Politano.

Inaki initiated the scoring at San Mames with a superb volley in the 13th minute, following a splendid run by Nico down the left wing, who then crossed the ball to his older brother.

The Ghanaian international returned the favor shortly after, setting up his younger brother to double the lead and put Bilbao in a commanding position.

In the second half, Gorka Guruzeta scored the third goal for the home side, sealing the victory and securing a spot in the final for Athletic Club.

Bilbao will now face Mallorca in the final of the competition, with the date yet to be confirmed.
