The Lions did not start the new La Liga season in the best way, but the international break benefited the team. In the early season, Athletic managed only one win in the first four rounds, defeating Valencia at home. During that time, the Lions lost to both Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.
However, after the international break, the Basques won league matches against Las Palmas (3-2), Leganés (2-0), and Celta (3-1). Last weekend, Athletic hosted Sevilla at home and drew 1-1. As a result, Athletic is currently in fifth place in the standings, seven points behind the leader, Barcelona. In the first round of the Europa League group stage, Athletic played to a draw away against Roma.
The Cheese Farmers started the new Eredivisie season well and currently sit in third place in the standings. In seven rounds, the team has collected 16 points and is now five points behind PSV. Until last weekend, AZ Alkmaar was unbeaten in the league, winning five of six matches.
However, last weekend, AZ Alkmaar hosted Utrecht and lost 1-2. The Cheese Farmers scored in the middle of the first half but allowed Utrecht to quickly equalize and then snatch the win after the break. In the first round of the Europa League, AZ hosted Elfsborg and earned three points with a 3-2 victory.
