match highlights: UD Levante vs Athletic
In case you missed last night's match, don't worry, you probably saved yourselves some life span by not watching. I probably spent half of the game headdesking and facepalming because it seemed that everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Of course, one has to take into account that we had three new players in our back four and there were bound to be some problems, but honestly, that goal we got could (and SHOULD!) have been avoided. Also I don't think I've ever seen so many bad passes in an Athletic game. And if that weren't enough, Llorente had to be subbed out because of muscular problems and will probably miss the Copa match against Barcelona. *cries*
BUT! There is a bright side: Three cheers for the second away victory of the season! *throws confetti*
It might not have been a 100% deserved victory because Levante was the better/more inspired team for large parts of the game, but after all the bad luck we've had recently (see the matches against Real Sociedad and Sevilla, for example), I think it's only fair that luck should be on our side for once, right? :D
Here's a video of the match highlights that you all need to see because OMG, the goals that Igor and Javi scored were absolutely beautiful.
I'm currently trying to find a torrent of the game because I need to post a video of the amazing manpile that followed Javi's goal. (Whoever decided that Athletic have to manpile in every game now deserves an award! :D)
UPDATE: xurda87 found a highlights video including the manpile, here! Thank you! :D
