For teams that are promoted to the First Division, staying in the top flight is always celebrated as a triumph. This is what the Dutch Go Ahead Eagles have done, where Iñigo Córdoba plays, on loan from Athletic in August last year, although with a purchase option for 3 million euros. The man from Bilbao, who has had a great season in the Netherlands, celebrated with a large crowd to continue in the first division.

In some videos released by the team itself, Córdoba can be seen celebrating in style with his teammates. Between laughs and dances, the players have a great time. The man from Bilbao, with beer in hand, enjoys himself with the rest of the squad on stage in front of thousands of people.

Córdoba has come out with his team. The man from Bilbao has scored no less than 12 goals. In fact, the Go Ahead Eagles were fighting for European places in April. However, by the end of the season he has fizzled out and has lost his last five games. Ranked 13th with 36 points, they are just 5 points behind Heerenveen, the last team to make it into the play-off for a place in Europe. Some numbers that show how the middle part of the table has been very tight.

The Bilbao player, who did not count in Marcelino’s plans, looked for his opportunity abroad after rejecting several offers in Spain.
