Analysis of Athletic Club's disappointing season
Joan Uriarte and Michal González spoke on Athletic Club's disappointing 2025–26 season, citing injuries and a lack of players.
Jon Uriarte and Michal Gonzalez have acknowledged Athletic Club's disappointment in the 2025-26 season. The team's performance this season, especially in the league, has been very poor. There was only one match in which he played completely well, that against Atlético in San Mamés. This shows tournament stability, and as it is called, regularity. The club president did not take the situation lightly. This is true at this time. In case of any other stance he would have faced justified criticism, because the reality is what we all are seeing.
Bilbao's team has fallen far short of expectations for a variety of reasons, including injuries, but most importantly, the best players available have not lived up to their potential. If they don't follow through, the entire group is affected. Now, there is a need to create a new project with Edin Terzic. Yuri's renewal would be a good starting point. Uriette expressed hope that he would remain for another season. The opposite would be a big issue, as there are no reliable options at the back. There are other questions, such as Javi Lerga's future with the women's team. The entrepreneur did not make any predictions. He also acknowledged that turning down renewal offers for Naria Nevado and Maite Zubieta, two of the team's best players, was a failure. The direction of football has been going against athletics in the last few years.
