Nico Williams is one more of FC Barcelona, even if it is symbolic. The 22-year-old winger was seen very happy on his arrival in Barcelona, where he was able to meet up with several of his teammates from the Spanish national team with whom he won Euro 2024. And despite not signing with the culé team this summer, the affection and good vibes between the footballers have remained intact.
In the run-up to the match between Hansi Flick's team and Athletic Bilbao, the players took to the field at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc to warm up. There the players from both clubs met and Nico greeted each other and chatted with his great friend, Lamine Yamal. They were joined by Fermín, Baldé and Gavi, footballers with whom he has a very good rapport because they are all young and some of them have even been on holiday together and are often seen interacting on their social networks.
Willams loved by Barça but questioned by fans
Before the match he was also seen talking in a friendly manner with Robert Lewandowski and other Barça players. After the match we saw him greeting Hansi Flick and sharing with Lamine's family, among them, the striker's 17-year-old younger brother, called Keyne. So everything seems to be pretty good at least between the players and there should be no resentment because, after all, they will continue to play together in Spain and who knows if in the future they will be teammates at the club.
Although the fans of the culé team clearly did not think the same. The Bilbao native had to listen to the whistles against him every time he touched the ball in the match where his team fell 1-2. And the fact is that many followers of the Blaugrana club are upset by his decision to stay in the team of his loves and 'stand' the team led by Joan Laporta, despite the fact that they did everything possible to sign him this summer. This season both sides will continue on different paths, but everything could change in the future.
