Spain will have their third different manager in as many recent Euro tournaments this summer.

After reaching the semi-finals of the last tournament, this time, they will look to go a step ahead and win the tournament for the first time since 2012.

The current squad of players contains a mix of youth and experience that includes Athletic Club’s Nico Williams, who has gone on to become an integral part of Athletic Club’s squad, featuring regularly for the last two seasons and with the joint-second most goal contributions for the club this season.

The following visualization provides a comprehensive comparison of Nico Williams’ performance against other players in his position across Europe’s top-five leagues.

This data offers valuable insights into his standing and potential in the football landscape.

Nico Williams is capable of playing from anywhere across the front four, even if he has played the majority of his minutes this season as a left-sided forward or an attacking midfielder.

This season has seen him produce his career-best tally for goals and assists combined, even if he has played fewer minutes than last season.

Nico Williams is a right-footed, left-sided player who has electric pace and accelerates with the ball at his feet like no other — ranking 99th percentile for Dribbles per 90 minutes.

His awareness and positioning inside the box to be at the right place at the right time to finish off a chance or keep the attack going is something notable in his game and deserves credit.

This is also evident in his ranking for touches in the opposition’s penalty area — 87th percentile.

His defensive work rate is something to be criticised, as his contribution in this regard is quite often up for debate.

Nico Williams is well positioned to take the next step in his career — potentially to Barcelona if current rumours are to be believed.

However, Euro 2024 is certainly a step towards that next step and might help him secure his breakthrough move.
