Athletic Club de Bilbao is on the verge of a historic milestone, seeking to reach 15 consecutive games without a defeat. And the duel against RCD Espanyol can equal a streak that has not been achieved in over 40 years.

If Athletic wins or draws in Cornellà, it will equal the fifteen games it went unbeaten in the 1983-84 season, with Javier Clemente on the bench. On that occasion, the streak was of ten wins and five draws.

For now, Ernesto Valverde has equaled a streak from 40 years ago. And that's because Athletic also went fourteen games without the bitter taste of defeat in the 1984-85 season, although with a very different balance: four wins and ten draws.

This season, those led by Ernesto Valverde have added seven wins and five draws in the last twelve games, climbing to fourth place in the table.
