Athletic Bilbao in European football

 * Hopefully that is the sourcing dealt with now, if not please let me know?


 * Just for info if interested, I presume you read the note in the article, they have had two high profile French players but by coincidence Lizarazu never played in Europe and Laporte hasn't been capped for France (almost all every other nation would have by now). They have a new signing who is a Romanian international but they aren't in Europe this season and he hasn't actually been involved in matches yet, so it will remain just Amorebieta for at least another year.


 * The numbers for Aduriz in ALT1 aren't particularly eye-catching, however I think it's likely to be the highest total of any player in the Europa League during that period (particularly the last 3 years where its 28 in 34). If you think including that aspect would make it a better hook than ALT0, let me know and I'll try to find a source for it. Thanks. Crowsus (talk) 22:14, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The last sentence of the third and fourth paragraphs in the section still need inline citations.  Sounder Bruce  06:37, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
