Athletic Bilbao’s 2013/14 Review
This season was a very difficult one for the team, enriched with highs and lows. From the wonder goals from Benat and healthy wins against Barcelona and Real Madrid to the rollercoaster of injuries, cup sorrows and defeats to rivals, we will have learnt a lot from this season.
It’s unfortunate that we didn’t manage to achieve our goals after failing to qualify for the Champions’ League but we should be back stronger next season providing we are able to add in certain areas.
Many young players of ours will return from loan moves too and I hope they can make the step up. All in all, it’s important not to be too greedy with progression and realise this season was decent. There will be many other top teams such as Valencia and Atletico Madrid who would like to be in our position.
