He made me look Useless on the pitch yesterday to the point that no one even recognize my presence anymore, I’m amazed the way He outshined me yesterday”, Ath Bibao star Nico Williams reveals the ONE Arsenal player that really outshine Him yesterday – Not Gyokeres

In a brutally honest post-match press conference, Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams didn’t hold back when reflecting on his side’s defeat to Arsenal in their latest preseason clash. The Spanish international admitted he was left stunned and humbled by the performance of one Arsenal player who, according to him, completely stole the spotlight.

“He made me look useless on the pitch yesterday to the point that no one even recognized my presence anymore,” Williams confessed, shaking his head in disbelief. “I’m amazed at the way he outshined me yesterday. It’s not Gyökeres — people might think it’s him — but no, this was different. This guy was everywhere.”

Williams, known for his pace and flair on the wing, found himself struggling to influence the game as Arsenal dominated proceedings. While he stopped short of naming the player outright, reporters close to the Spanish camp revealed that the 22-year-old was referring to Arsenal’s new summer acquisition, whose energy, work rate, and technical brilliance left the Bilbao defense and attack chasing shadows.

Arsenal fans flooded social media after the game, praising the mystery man’s performance and hailing him as one of the team’s most exciting talents heading into the new season.

For Williams, the experience was both humbling and motivating. “This is football — sometimes you shine, and sometimes someone else takes the light. Yesterday, that light wasn’t mine, and I respect that. It’s a lesson for me.”

With preseason nearing its end, Arsenal supporters are already dreaming about how this standout player could replicate such performances when the Premier League season kicks off. If last night was anything to go by, the Gunners may have found themselves a game-changer.
