Athletic players boycott media at Camp Nou amid internal row | OneFootball

Athletic’s players refused post-match media duties at Camp Nou on Saturday after the 2-0 against Barça, citing an internal club issue.

According to as.com, the first to lose out was DAZN, despite Unai Simón being named the match MVP.

The squad are unhappy with the Ibaigane club’s decision to cut players’ ticket allocations from four to zero, a reduction also applied to ex-players, directors and former presidents.

In the build-up, there were no media appearances at Lezama, and earlier board decisions had already displeased much of the dressing room.

A meeting this week between the captains and the club’s general manager ended without agreement, which prompted Saturday’s collective media blackout.
