5 h. ago Iñaki Williams: ‘It’s belonging. For the people and for us, Athletic is a religion’

The Ghana international on how recent successes and his club’s feeling and culture fuel hope for their semi-final with Manchester UnitedIñaki Williams, the fastest footballer in town, is accelerating again. The more the images come, the quicker he goes, flying through faces, flashbacks and feelings, everything they did and can still do. “It’s madness,” he says, eyes sparkling, the words chasing each other out, emotion building. And then the Athletic Bilbao winger pauses and laughs. “The other day they came to do tests. The cardiologist started to talk about it. He says: ‘That was wonderful; wow, the gabarra ’ And just him mentioning it, on the screen you saw my heart beating faster.”The gabarra is a barge. Only that’s not all: there is something almost mythical about it, like a legend passed through generations.

A melt-in-the-mouth dish of fried tenderised chicken in a mushroom and sweet wine sauceThe term escalope is borrowed from the old French escalope, meaning “shell or carapace”, which is likely to be borrowed from the old Norse skalpr (“sheath”) or Middle Dutch schelpe (“shell”). This explains the shape, and why the word evolved to describe a slice of meat that has been pounded until it’s the same slimness all over.This week’s recipe is inspired by the restaurant Bocca Di Lupo in Soho, which a few months ago, after a night at the theatre with my parents, was one of the few places still open and more than welcoming to walk-ins at 10.30pm.
