Also found out recently that Atletico Madrid was founded by Basques living in the city, naming the club after their home-club, and replicating the jersey.  They have a cool stadium right in the middle of their city, and they are stone mad about football around there.  Am delighted to see them doing well - could win this now.

Athletic's cantera policy has relaxed a little in recent years. They'll play non-Basques as long as they have either been brought up in the region or have progressed through their youth systems. It's still a restrictive and admirable policy.

Atletic Bilbao began playing in an improvised white kit, but in the 1902–03 season, the club's first official strip became half-blue, half-white shirts similar to those worn by Blackburn Rovers, which were donated by Juan Moser. Later, a young student from Bilbao named Juan Elorduy, who was spending Christmas 1909 in London, was charged by the club to buy 25 new shirts, but was unable to find enough. Waiting for the ship back to Bilbao and empty handed, Elorduy realised that the colours of the local team Southampton matched the colours of the City of Bilbao, and bought 50 shirts to take with him. Upon arriving in Bilbao, the clubs directors decided almost immediately to change the teams strip to the new colours, and since 1910, Athletic Club have played in red and white stripes. Of the 50 shirts bought by Elorduy, half were then sent to Atlético Madrid, which had originally begun as a youth branch of Athletic. Before the switch from blue and white to red and white, only one other team wore red and white, Sporting de Gijón, since 1905.[3][4]

Greatest 0-0.

Hard to believe Barca haven't scored. When Athletic attack they leave the midfield completely open for the counter.
