Inaki has reached 500 games for Athletic Bilbao
Iñaki Williams reached a historic milestone on Saturday, March 14, 2026, playing his 500th match for Athletic Club.
The Black Stars striker has now joined an elite group of only 19 active players in Europe to hit 500 appearances for a single club, cementing his legacy at San Mamés.
His landmark game, however, came in a tough 3-0 defeat to Girona. Williams featured for 80 minutes, tirelessly chasing the ball and trying to spark his team’s attack, but Athletic Club remains 10th in La Liga.
Despite the result, the milestone reflects more than just one match; it’s a celebration of over a decade of dedication, consistency, and loyalty.
