Athletic Club fans erupted in celebration following Inaki Williams' spirited declaration, "We will eat Europe!" during the pre-release event for the Williams brothers' documentary on Monday.

The event took place at Sala BBK in Biscay and was graced by the presence of the entire Athletic Club squad, coach Ernesto Valverde, and club president Jon Uriarte.

Prior to the screening, Valverde shared a light-hearted moment with Nico Williams, engaging in a playful exchange that featured a humorous nudge and a kneel-down to emphasize their height difference.

This delightful interaction brought laughter from both Nico and Inaki, showcasing the strong camaraderie between the coach and his players.

The event unfolded against a backdrop of speculation regarding Nico Williams, who had been rumored to join Barcelona over the summer.

These rumors even led to some tension between Athletic's president Uriarte and Barcelona’s Joan Laporta.

Nevertheless, Nico confirmed his dedication to Athletic Club, expressing his determination to fight for a chance to play in the Europa League final at San Mames—a sentiment that resonates with Athletic fans, especially following their recent Copa del Rey triumph.

As the excitement builds, Athletic Club prepares to face AS Roma in their opening Europa League match on Thursday, igniting hopes of a successful campaign in Europe.
