Athletic Club winger, Nico Williams casts his mind back on an incredible summer and his friendship with Barcelona teenage star, Lamine Yamal.
The winger, who had an incredible season in the European Championship with Spain, talked about his special collaboration with Yamal, a budding star for Barcelona, while they were in Germany.
He emphasized that they were simply savoring the moment and were not entirely aware of the influence they were having, characterizing their connection as organic.
“We were very innocent, we were going our own way and we didn’t realize what we had generated until I had my vacation. I’m happy to have been able to do that with Lamine,” he said as quoted by SPORT.

For Williams, the summer of 2024 was a turning point. In addition to helping La Roja win the championship, his outstanding performances at the tournament attracted the interest of top teams like Barcelona.
He is a highly sought-after player who is admired by both football experts and fans for his unique combination of talent, pace, and fearlessness.
The 21-year-old emphasized the qualities that set his game apart in the same interview. He takes great delight in making the most of his innate dribbling ability, which has always been a defining characteristic of his approach.
Williams has also received personal recognition for his achievements. Being one of the Ballon d’Or nominees was an accomplishment he said was beyond his wildest expectations.
“Everyone dreams of attending a gala of that magnitude. I watched the galas on TV when I was little. Being number 15 in the world is incredible”.
