Ghana’s Black Stars forward Inaki Williams has landed in Spain ahead of the highly anticipated Copa del Rey match between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona scheduled for tonight at the iconic San Mamés stadium.
The 29-year-old athlete swiftly returned to Bilbao after Ghana’s unfortunate exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast, where they competed valiantly but fell short of advancing further in the tournament.
Ghana, having secured the third position in Group B, faced setbacks with a defeat to Cape Verde and draws against both Egypt and Mozambique. Their dreams of progressing to the knockout stages were dashed when Cameroon secured a late victory over Gambia, sealing Ghana’s fate.
Despite the disappointment, Inaki Williams, making his AFCON debut, participated in all three matches, showcasing his skill and commitment, even though he was unable to find the back of the net.
As he touched down in Spain, Williams expressed his readiness for the upcoming clash against Barcelona, demonstrating resilience and determination in the face of recent setbacks. The stage is set for a thrilling encounter, and fans eagerly await Williams’ contribution on the pitch for Athletic Bilbao.
