Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^ The number of Copa del Rey wins Athletic Bilbao have been credited with is disputed. The 1902 Copa de la Coronación was won by Club Bizcaya, a team made up of players from Athletic Bilbao and Bilbao FC. In 1903 these two clubs merged as Athletic Bilbao and took part in the first official Copa del Rey in 1903. The 1902 trophy is on display in the Athletic museum[1] and the club includes it in its own honours list. However the LFP and RFEF official statistics do not regard this as an official edition of the Copa del Rey won by Athletic.[2]
  2. ^ Cup awarded automatically as the club won both the Copa del Rey and La Liga.
  3. ^ In the 1917–18 North Championship, Athletic 'retired from the competition once finalised'.[5][6] after finishing top of the table.
  4. ^ The 1938–39 Biscay Championship was won by Bilbao Athletic, a makeshift squad formed after the Spanish Civil War.[7] The club includes this win and that in the 1935 Copa Vasca (below) for a total of 17.
  5. ^ a b Includes all official Spanish Cup tournaments: Copa del Rey, Supercopa de España, Copa de la Liga and Copa Eva Duarte.
  6. ^ 2002-03, 2006-08, 2012-20
