There was a party in the Cathedral with Athletic’s victory on an afternoon of farewells. Everything went as the stands expected, and it contributed a lot to the fact that Sevilla came out unmotivated in a match in which nothing was at stake. Raúl García and Muniain played their last game in San Mamés with the Athletic shirt; They went out onto the grass with their children, took souvenir photos, the last ones, and before the 20th minute they had already scored a goal each. You can’t ask for more from a farewell. On the opposite side, Jesús Navas, who was leaving but not, had to leave the field in the 44th minute, and as the public was celebrating, they also gave him a standing ovation when he left.

The League ends in San Mamés, Athletic secured its fifth place; Valverde left Unai Simón in the stands to protect his Zamora trophy and certified its status as an impregnable field, which he only gave up on the first day, against Real Madrid and in the distant month of August. Sevilla also confirmed that this League, having achieved the sad objective (for a winning club) of salvation, has become too long.
The football was Athletic’s in the first half, although it was Sevilla that started the dance with a dangerous center from Acuña that found no response from its forwards. Then the goals came. The first, in an impeccable header from Raúl García, after an extraordinary pass from De Marcos, which announced his renewal; and the second, after an action by Nico, who assisted with the outside of his foot so that Muniain entered the shot with all the faith in the world.
