Uno de los clubs más fascinantes del mundo

Athletic Bilbao: The Basque club with the spirit of Rafael Nadal continue to amaze
In the era of modern football, where money and marketing have a greater influence on the game than loyalty and romanticism, there is a club in La Liga that keeps alive this treasured tradition. They are immune to big spending and do not sign players from outside the Basque boundaries, as if they were competing in the 19th century. They believe pride is more powerful than fiscal value. Athletic Club de Bilbao stand out from the crowd, with a "one club man" award that rewards the most committed of players (Matthew Le Tissier was the first ever recipient), defining their onus on commitment. IBTimes UK looks at the story behind one of the most fascinating clubs in the world who, alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona, have never been relegated from the Spanish top flight.
