Spain star shows Barcelona why his signing is a must with record-breaking Euro 2024 display | OneFootball

A leading member of the attacking ranks in the Spanish national team squad made crystal clear to La Liga giants Barcelona why his signing must be made a priority on Sunday night.

The player in question? Nico Williams.

The name of wide-man Williams, of course, has long taken its place front and centre in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital.

This comes amid the widespread understanding that the 21-year-old has been identified as one of several summer targets to reinforce the left of Barcelona’s frontline.

As alluded to above, though, on Sunday night, Nico made clear once again that he should be considered THE profile of choice by the Blaugrana.

Afforded a starting berth in Spain’s Euro 2024 showdown with Georgia, the Athletic Club star absolutely dazzled once more.

On the opposite flank to current Barca star Lamine Yamal, Nico, in fact, secured for himself a piece of European Championship history.

As revealed by statisticians Opta, en route to a 4-1 Spain rout, the gifted attacker became ‘the only player on record at the UEFA European Championship to score a goal, assist a goal, and complete 100% of his passes (46/46) in a game he started.
