Police in Bilbao have opened an inquiry into four Athletic Club players following an impromptu street party held by the squad to celebrate their recent Copa del Rey win. The celebration took place after Athletic secured their first major trophy in 40 years by winning the Copa in Seville on Saturday, defeating Mallorca in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in extra time.
The official celebrations for the victory are scheduled to occur on Thursday, with the traditional barge 'La Gabarra' set to carry the team and the trophy along the river Nervion in Bilbao, accompanied by a flotilla of smaller boats. However, on Tuesday, the players organized an unplanned celebration on the streets, complete with music from an amateur band led by forward Asier Villalibre, who showcased his trumpet skills.
