Athletic Club returned to winning form in La Liga with a crucial victory against Levante, breaking a streak of six games without a win. The match saw a significant advantage for Athletic as Levante played most of the game with ten men after Maturro was sent off in the 17th minute. Gorka Guruzeta was the standout player, scoring two goals, with additional contributions from Nico Serrano and Robert Navarro, which helped secure a 4-2 victory and lifted the spirits at San Mamés Stadium.

This victory comes on the heels of Athletic's success in the Copa del Rey, where they eliminated Valencia in a dramatic quarter-final match that required a last-minute goal from Iñaki Williams. The win against Levante not only boosts their morale going into the upcoming semi-final match against Real Sociedad but also provides important momentum in La Liga, where consistency is key to their season objectives. Valverde’s team demonstrated resilience and attacking prowess, crucial for their campaign ahead.

The match was tightly contested, especially toward the end, as Levante pushed hard to come back, highlighting the need for Athletic to maintain focus throughout the match. With this win, Athletic Club has the opportunity to build on their performance and establish themselves firmly in the upper part of the league standings as they prepare for additional challenges in both La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
