When the result in the Gambia-Cameroon game on Tuesday confirmed Ghana had been knocked out of the African Cup of Nations, Iñaki Williams took a flight back to Bilbao. He arrived on the morning of Athletic Club’s Copa del Rey quarter-final against FC Barcelona and scored a crucial goal in extra time.
