Athletic Bilbao striker Inaki Williams set a new La Liga record on Friday as he played his 203rd consecutive game, not losing a match since 2016. Williams broke the record in a home game against Alves after equaling the 202 mark in a row set by Ion Andoni Larranaga with Real Sociedad between 1986 and 1992. Their relentless run began on April 20, 2016 in a match against Atlético Madrid at San Memes home in Bilbao.
He then played the remaining four games of that season before appearing in five full seasons, 2016–2017, 2017–2018, 2018–2019, 2019-2020 and 2020–2021.
In the current campaign, he has played in all eight top-flight games.
Prior to Friday, the 27-year-old had started 168 games and appeared as a substitute on 34 occasions.
He has scored 39 goals in his Bilbao career.
