Nico Serrano Scores Winning Goal for Athletic Club Against Ludogorets

Former Racing player Nico Serrano scored a crucial goal for Athletic Club Bilbao in their Europa League match against Ludogorets. The Lions were trailing 1-0 in Bulgaria when manager Ernesto Valverde made a pivotal change, bringing Serrano on the field along with Vesga and de Marcos in the 56th minute, a move that transformed the game.

The Navarra-native netted what would be the winning goal at 1-2, sealing the victory for the Basque side. This isn’t Serrano’s first goal wearing the Athletic first-team jersey; during the 2020-21 season, he scored the decisive goal against Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio Municipal de Vallecas.

This strike could provide a boost to the left winger, who has found himself sidelined in La Liga, having played only 17 minutes so far this season.

Rumors regarding a possible loan move for the player during the winter market have circulated since the season commenced, primarily due to his limited playing time with the first team. It’s essential to remember that Serrano is just 21 years old and needs game time to continue his development as a footballer.

He has a strong connection with Ferrol, where he returns whenever he has days off. If Athletic were to consider a loan, Serrano has never hidden his preference for a return to Racing, should that opportunity arise.
