It was more difficult for us than expected, said Athletic Bilbao striker Niko Williams after the win against Bulgarian champions Ludogorets.

Statement after the Europa League match between Ludogorets and Athletic Bilbao (1:2):

Ignatius Williams (Bilbao Athletic striker):
“I was very happy with the win. We knew it would be very difficult, but maybe more than expected. I lost a position and I thought maybe it wasn't our night. Then the disappointment went away.

The weather is quite cold. It's also cold in the Basque region. It also affected our game to some extent.”
