Provocation against Qarabag in Bilbao before the Champions League match

22 October 2025 [11:11] - TODAY.AZ

These leaflets were posted by unknown individuals in the Spanish city of Bilbao, where the local club Athletic is hosting Qaraba? from Aghdam in the Champions League today.

 

This incident is not entirely surprising, as both Bilbao and Athletic are often seen as symbols of Basque nationalism and separatism.

 

In the past, Athletic had a policy of recruiting only local players. Even today, their squad includes just one foreign player, with another on the bench.

 

Representatives of the Qaraba? team have contacted Athletic regarding the incident. The club, in turn, involved the police, who are now investigating and searching for those responsible.

 

The best response to this provocation will be a strong and dignified performance by our team tonight!
