Inaki Williams and Nico Williams made the headlines on Thursday night as Athletic Club beat Atletico Madrid to seal a place in the 2023/24 Copa del Rey final.
The two brothers combined for two of Bilbao's goals in the 3-0 win at San Mames to ensure Ernesto Valverde's side made light work of Atletico.
The Basque club came into the second leg of the encounter with the advantage having won 1-0 at Wanda Politano.
Inaki opened the scoring at San Mames with a brilliant volley in the 13th minute after a great run by Nico on the left wing, crossing the ball for his elder brother.
