They didn't just win, but they outplayed United at home and deserved it! Vintage Bielsa Ball 🔥👌

[@jefflinton]

When I first discovered who Bielsa was .
Outstanding,they should've won by 7,they embarrassed Man United

[@bb0m99]

Bilbao in This Year is Very Better Than Totenham And Manchester City And ...
Mr . Marcelo Belisa 👏🏻👏🏻🔥

[@mchachorichard1166]

It was intense and an absolutely joy to watch Bilbao were electric from start to finish

[@R.G.777.]

I remember this match, in fact I remember both legs. Man u were comprehensively outplayed in both legs

[@asiersanz8941]

Perhaps the best weekend i've ever spent anywhere in my life. Enjoying the city, great people, and this match. It was simply perfect!

[@sidneyOT95]

This was one of the best teams i ever saw play against us in person. Bilbao were just fantastic this night.
I actually visited Bilbao this summer and saw a game at San Mames, what an experience, the best city I’ve ever visited, it is such a beautiful place

[@asiersanz8941]

@@sidneyOT95That' very kind of you, Sid. You have a nice and superinteresting city too, btw.
We , the basque people, mostly in Bilbao, do have a special connection with the people in the british isles. I think that we share some cultural values.
Glad to know that you had a great time between us.

[@sidneyOT95]

@@asiersanz8941 I would love to find out some more about basque history. I still have a eguzkilore symbol with me, always brings back great memories

[@user-bb8oo2yl9z]

Bilbao totally deserved this cup, it's a shame they faced a strong atletico madrid in the final
They were outstanding from start to finish

[@rimka6593]

That time when athletic club embarassed man u of ferguson in their home

[@sebastianbardon391]

In their home and away

[@blabla-rg7ky]

well, as someone who used to watch EVERY Milan, Bayern, Chelsea, Juve and Man Utd match during those years I swear that I can't remember this match for the life of me. Like, total blackout, I don't remember even having ever been played... pretty odd!
Anyway, llorente is the guy that we know from Juve and Spurs, but I wonder whether ander herrera and javi martinez are the guys that later on moved to Man Utd and Bayern, respectively. Could these really be them?? Because if they are, then I'm not surprised that Bilbao have defeated Man Utd in this game... Oh, and also Bielsa, and Muniain, those 2 helped, as well... And speaking of Muniain, I wonder what has happened to that dude, I remember hearing his name a lot during those years, he was supposed to be some future legend of the club or something, but I've not heard anything about him shortly after this match....

[@blabla-rg7ky]

@Speed Services what an insightful comment. As insightful as your lack of shallowness...

[@ander4163]

Llorente practically disappeared after he went to juve from athletic. He should have stayed. He would have been a legend and one of the best strikers in la Liga

[@blabla-rg7ky]

@@ander4163 most footballers want to go to bigger clubs, so I can understand his decision. Besides, no footballer expects to go to a bigger club and fail, just ask any footballer you meet :)

[@egoiorobio5988]

Muniain was really punished by injuries. However, he still became a great footballer, but more of a CM than he was supposed to be. He should have been called up for the NT several times, but in Spain it's not easy if you don't play for Barça/Real Madrid.
In summary, still a great footballer -with not much media support- who could have been way better had he not been injured so frequently.

[@blabla-rg7ky]

@@egoiorobio5988 definitely a great footballer, but also definitely one who had fallen into obscurity as many other one season wonders but with great potential (arshavin, chamakh, mido, and so on...)

[@Zaruf]

I cannot forget "MUNIAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNN"

[@steedlei1]

Andoni Iraola is BACK!!!! haha

[@ivaniaduarte9201]

Was de Marcos offside or is it just me

[@ahmadfawazhussein7589]

Yes but united penalty was wrongly called because the handball took place outside the box
