📸 Less than 24 hours later, Nico Williams mural in Bilbao vandalised again | OneFootball

The mural honoring brothers Nico and Iñaki Williams in the Lutxana neighborhood of Barakaldo has once again been the target of a vandalism act.

Just 24 hours after being restored following an initial attack, the image of Nico has once again been defaced with blue paint and accompanied by an insult painted next to his face.

This is the second attack in just one week. In the first incident, the face of the younger Williams was erased and the message in Basque "Joan edo geratu, errespetua galdu duzu" ("Whether you leave or stay, you have lost respect") was written, a clear reference to the possible transfer of the player to FC Barcelona.

In response, the mural was restored this Thursday by artist Carlos López, with the support of Athletic Club, which financed the restoration work and publicly defended its player.
