Inaki Williams ends season in style with brace of assists against Real Madrid

Ghana forward Inaki Williams finished the 2025/26 La Liga season on a high after delivering a brace of assists in Athletic Bilbao's defeat at Real Madrid.

Williams created both of Bilbao's goals as the Rojiblancos suffered a 4-2 loss at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Spain-born Ghanaian endured a tough season as captain of his boyhood club, scoring only three La Liga goals and adding six assists.

His struggles also affected the club, who after a return to the UEFA Champions League this season, dropped to 12th in the just-ended campaign.

Williams apologised to fans of the club in an emotional post on social media, claiming the team will regroup and come back stronger.

Meanwhile, in a thrilling encounter at the Bernabeu, the hosts took an early lead through Gonzalo Garcia before Jude Bellingham doubled the advantage five minutes to half time.

Just before the referee's whistle for the interval, Williams found Gorka Guruzeta who halved the deficit.

But after the break, Kylian Mbappe extended Real Madrid's advantage before Brahim Daiz netted with three minutes left.

Williams again served Urko Izeta to ensure Athletic Bilbao added a second in the last minute of the match.
