Wrapping up the two-day affair that commenced on Friday, participants enthusiastically joined a live viewing session showcasing the LaLiga showdown between Athletic Club and Atletico Madrid.

Taking advantage of the moment, young players seized the opportunity to dissect and exchange insights on pivotal play sequences, witnessing Bilbao clinch an impressive 2-0 triumph.
