In an unforgettable gesture, a passionate Ghanaian football fan gifted Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams a bag of fufu powder following the team’s monumental 2-1 victory over Real Madrid.
This win, which broke an 18-game winless streak against Madrid in La Liga, marked Bilbao’s first triumph over the Spanish giants since 2015. Nico, alongside his brother Inaki Williams, both of Ghanaian heritage, was pivotal in the match, making the cultural gift particularly special.
The game itself was a thrilling contest. Inaki’s precise cross led to Bilbao’s opening goal, while the team displayed resilience to retake the lead shortly after Real Madrid’s equalizer.
Post-match, Nico’s interaction with the Ghanaian fan, conducted in Twi, showcased his pride in his cultural roots. He graciously accepted the fufu powder, which later became a source of joy for the Williams brothers.
Taking to social media, Nico and Inaki shared a video enjoying a traditional Ghanaian meal, celebrating not just their victory but also their connection to their heritage.
