WHAT HAPPENED?
Prior to their high-stakes encounter against the Basque side at the Estadio Coliseum, the entire team, including Greenwood, took to the field accompanied by their mothers, symbolising the profound impact of maternal support and encouragement in their lives. The English forward was the last player to emerge from the tunnel, holding hands with Melanie, and later posed for a team photograph with all the mothers in the frame.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Ghanaian striker Inaki Williams emerged as the hero, propelling his team to a resounding 2-0 victory with a stunning brace over Greenwood's Getafe. It was an evening to forget for the English forward as Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon saved his penalty to preserve their clean sheet and secure the three points.
Bilbao's dominance was further underscored by the dismissal of two players, Yeray Alvarez and Aitor Paredes, reducing them to nine men in the latter stages of the match. Despite the numerical advantage, Greenwood's missed opportunity from the penalty spot denied Getafe the chance to mount a late comeback, leaving them empty-handed at the final whistle.
