Nico Williams celebrates winning Copa: I have many years left with Athletic Bilbao

Nico Williams pledged his commitment to Athletic Bilbao after winning the Copa del Rey final.

Athletic defeated Mallorca in a penalty shootout on Saturday.

Williams said: "I have many years left here, I am calm and happy. Looking forward to getting to Bilbao to celebrate.

"From the park to here. My family deserves it, my parents have worked hard. This goes to all those people who are with me every day, I hope you enjoy it a lot.

"I have dreamed of this moment many times. Last year I had two chances that I didn't score and we were on the verge of reaching the final. I am very happy to make history and have a name in the club.

"I was the first one to cry, I don't even want to imagine it. The fans deserve everything and more, they have always been with us."
