NICO WILLIAMS jokingly claimed he was “going blind” after he hilariously snubbed Athletic Bilbao team-mate Ander Herrera in a goal celebration.
The shocking cold shoulder came after they travelled to Valencia last night in the Copa del Rey quarter-final.

However, just seconds before the half time break, 20-year-old attacker Williams fired Bilbao back into the lead.
The Spanish international raced off in celebration after his strike towards pal Herrera.

But he was left red-faced as Williams raced straight past him and left him standing.
Mikel Vesga converted a penalty later on to seal a 3-1 victory and a place in the semis.
And Herrera seemed to see the funny side as he posted a snap of Williams snubbing him on Instagram afterwards.
He captioned it: “When you expect Nico Williams to celebrate the goal with you, but you are completely ignored. We are in the semifinals! Zorionak, guys!”

The likes instantly started mounting, and soon Williams himself dipped into his response to offer his tongue-in-cheek response.
He wrote: “HAHAHAHA I think I'm going blind.”
Herrara spent five seasons at Old Trafford, racking up 189 appearances, following his move from Bilbao in 2014.
But he left the club in 2019 when his contract expired for Paris Saint-Germain before returning to Bilbao on a season-long loan last summer.
