Match Facts
Athletic Club faced AZ in the 2015-16 UEFA Europa League group stage, failing to win either game against the Dutch side (D1 L1).
AZ are winless in their last three away European matches against Spanish teams (D1 L2) since a 2-1 win at Sevilla in December 2006.
Athletic Club lost their last two home UEFA Europa League matches, both in 2018 against Spartak Moscow and Marseille. It’s the only time they have ever lost consecutive home games in Europe.
AZ have lost their last five away major European matches, losing five in a row in the Conference League between April and December 2023.
AZ’s Ruben van Bommel netted a brace against Elfsborg on MD1 of this season’s UEFA Europa League, aged 20 years and 53 days. In their major European history, only Myron Boadu (18y 297d vs Astana in 2019) and Mousa Dembélé (19y 109d vs Grasshoppers in 2006) have scored two goals in a game at a younger age for AZ.
