Why Inaki Williams Is the Athletic Bilbao Player Barcelona Must Stop

Athletic Club's best player is out suspended and unable to face FC Barcelona on Sunday night at Camp Nou. That's Aritz Aduriz. The 34, nearly 35-year-old hitman who just keeps on scoring.

Their second-best player is unavailable, too. Raul Garcia is out for up to 12 weeks with a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee, per Marca.

So they are down to their No. 3 striker, and, based on this season's form, their third-best player, to lead the line against the current champions.

Inaki Williams has taken La Liga by storm this season, building on the base of last year's good start.
