When Football Turns into a Fiesta: The Athletic Club Victory!
Well, well, well! It seems that the Athletic Club has decided that their best strategy against Espanyol was to make it look like they were trying out for a circus act at San Mamés! With a scoreline of 4-1 that looked less like a football match and more like a family reunion where everyone forgot their manners. They really left Espanyol scratching their heads—probably trying to figure out if they mistakenly wandered into a football match or a comedy show!
Swimming in Greatness: Dani Vivian and the Williams Brothers
And speaking of comedy, how about that Dani Vivian? This lad had such a hidden talent for scoring, you’d think he was practicing for a surprise concert with Beyoncé! The synergy between the brothers Iñaki and Nico Williams is reminiscent of a well-rehearsed dance duet—let’s just hope they don’t break into a routine mid-match! After all, the last thing we need is players pirouetting across the pitch.
As for our friend Alex Berenguer, he was practically a magician, pulling goals out of thin air! If I didn’t know any better, I’d say he had his own personal genie in a lamp, granting wishes for ease of scoring.
🦁 Victory in San Mamés, but the most important game is yet to be played.

The Goalkeeping Mystery
Intriguingly, our Mexican mate Alex Padilla was busy twiddling his thumbs on the bench while Julen Agirrezabala turned into a wall whenever Espanyol dared to approach. It was basically a goalkeeper’s edition of “Guess Who?”—“Is he a famous goalkeeper? No! Is he a meme? Yes!” The lad made it look easy, which is precisely what a good goalkeeper should do, but the real question is: has anyone checked if Padilla is really just pretending to be a coach in disguise?
Struggling Espanyol and the Dire Times
As for Espanyol, they might as well have started their own support group after taking such a hit. Down 1-0 by the sixth minute, and by half an hour, they could’ve drafted a novel titled “What Went Wrong.” Spoiler alert: everything. It’s all rather tragic—like watching a kitten who thinks it can scare a Rottweiler.

And let’s not forget their trip to RCD Mallorca! I do hope they’ve packed their sunblock—though, judging from the last match, they definitely don’t need help burning the opposition!
