Ghana and Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams has issued a fiery warning to Arsenal ahead of their Champions League showdown on Tuesday.
The Ghana international, known for his relentless work rate and leadership, declared that the Gunners will face a battle of grit and intensity if they hope to leave San Mamés with a result.
“If Arsenal want to beat us at our stadium, they’ll have to sweat blood,” Williams said in the build-up to the tie.
Bilbao, buoyed by a passionate home crowd and their strong start to the season, see the clash as an opportunity to make a statement against one of Europe’s heavyweights. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be looking to carry their Premier League form into the Champions League group stage.
Williams’ bold words underline the confidence and fighting spirit of the Basque side, who are determined to make San Mamés a fortress on Europe’s biggest stage.
