Inaki Williams Reacts to Brother’s Magical Display in Spain’s Victory Over Italy

Inaki Williams has reacted to the performance of his younger brother Nico Williams following his Man of the Match display in the victory over Italy.

The Athletic Bilbao winger starred for Spain as they defeated Italy 1-0 to go top of Group B and progress to the last 16 of the competitions.

Williams’ cross was deflected into an own goal by Riccardo Calafiori in the second half as Spain continued their high-flying start to the competition.

The Barcelona target was officially named Man of the Match following his outstanding performance.

His elder brother took to social media to post: “Pure cinema Junior. Starboy.”

Spain will next face Albania as they wrap up with Group B before the knockout stages begin later next week.

Meanwhile, Inaki is recovering after undergoing surgery to remove a glass from his left foot last month. The injury kept him out of Ghana’s World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic early this month.

He later married his longtime girlfriend Patricia Morales at a lovely ceremony in Bilbao on June 3, as reported by 3 News.

Riccardo Calafiori’s own goal nine minutes after half-time was the difference between the two sides at Gelsenkirchen in the biggest match to date at the tournament in Germany.

But the slender margin of victory didn’t reflect a statement performance from Spain who completely nullified Italy and should have had the game won by half-time, as they did in their opening round thumping of Croatia.
