‘EVERY LITTLE KID WANTS TO PLAY AT OLD TRAFFORD!’ | Nico Williams | Athletic Bilbao v Man Utd

Press conference with Athletic Bilbao forward Nico Williams ahead of their Europa League semi-final first-leg tie against Manchester United.

He talks about facing Man Utd, recovering from his injury, playing the first leg at home, how he handles the pressure of being seen as a potential match-winner for his side, and whether they need to take a lead to Old Trafford. He reflects on whether he remembers the match between the two sides in 2012, the value of a great atmosphere—while ensuring it doesn’t spill over into trouble—and whether he thinks there is a favourite in the tie.

He also discusses the need to stay grounded despite being on the verge of a European final, reiterates the importance of taking a lead to Old Trafford and how to manage the tie from there, what he knows of Man Utd, and how important this tie is for them after a poor Premier League campaign. He touches on the significance of reaching this stage with only local players (as is tradition), whether he dreams of playing in the Champions League next season, and how he assesses Bilbao’s season.

Williams also shares his thoughts on the standard of play in Europe, living out his childhood dream, and whether that dream ends with lifting the trophy. He speaks about how the team would respond if they go into the second leg behind on aggregate, how much energy he still has after 47 matches this season, and whether he feels added pressure with all eyes on him following his success with Spain at the Euros.
