This Thursday, May 4th, the match between Athletic Club and Real Betis Balompié takes place, a clash between two teams that are both aiming to be in Europe next year and that takes place in the prelude of a weekend with numerous events in Bilbao (5-7 May).
Athletic Club-Real Betis Balompié
On Thursday 4th May, the first of the three remaining LaLiga matches you can expect to see at the San Mames stadium this season. Athletic Club-Real Betis Balompié with the European positions at stake.
A clash, in which you can also see and pay a well-deserved tribute to the 1983 champions. The players and coaching staff will take to the pitch before kick-off to receive the support from the fans who, four decades ago, were thrilled by the exploits of this team that, in addition to many glorious afternoons, won two LaLiga titles, a Cup and a Super Cup.

The affection of the Real Betis player, who will face Athletic for the 57th time in a league match at San Mames, was reflected in these statements: “I always said that I loved playing at the old San Mames. I was motivated by their pitch and the way they live football. It was one of my favourite stadiums”.
