The goal of the lower of the brothers has arrived when the culés played already against the chronometer and the extreme took advantage of the Barcelona despair to close the pass with a golazo with the outside of his right foot.
Perhaps it was a very cruel closing for a Barça that had to Nico Williams in his diary of face to this 2024 when the attacker still did not renew with the group of Bilbao and the conversations seemed to be arrested persons. In fact, already the Catalan team thought that went to be possible can negotiate with his surroundings from the past 1 January, but finally the agreement arrived of way something unexpected with the Athletic.
Nico Williams finished a factor determinant against of the Barça
Like this, Nico Williams happened to be near of the Barça, in elder or lower measure, to delete him of the Glass of Rey and besides seed more doubts in the project of Xavi Hernández if we take into account that it no longer can opt by the title in which it seemed that had more probabilities. In League the Catalans have to expect at least two pricks of Real Madrid and Girona and keep a perfect step, whereas in Champions League is clear that there is at least 5 or 6 more favourite teams, to the day of today, for the title between the 16 that advanced to the eighth of final.
