Last Saturday Athletic Club´s debut in the Liga finished with the away victory over Hercules thanks to the goal scored by Llorente after the pass by Gabilondo. An exciting beginning for our team and specially for Aurtenetxe as the match was his debut in the competition, not in the first team as he faced Werder Bremen last season at Europa League.

The squad used for the first time the new Tailored Shirt by Umbro, which was combined with white shorts and socks for the coincidence on the colours with the rival.

The next Liga match will be held in two weeks at San Mames against Atletico Madrid, the recent European Super Cup champion. Then, our players will combine the red and white shirt with the usual black shorts and socks.

A few days before the kick off of the Liga next Saturday, let´s have a look at the friendly matches played by Athletic Club over these last weeks.

The team has played eight matches with a final balance of five wins (SC Olhanense, Sporting Braga, Lens, UD Logroñés and Catania), a tie (Alaves) and two defeats (Wolverhampton and Genoa). The 17 scored goals, having received only 7,is an invitation to look with optimism to the next league start.

The fact of playing every match as visitors and the coincidence of the colours in the uniforms have enabled the debut of the new Tailored Shirt by Umbro. It will therefore take place already in official competition.
