Markel Susaeta
Markel Susaeta Laskurain (Basque: [markel s̺us̺aeta las̺kuɾain], Spanish: [ˈmaɾkel susaˈeta laskuˈɾajn]; born 14 December 1987) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a right winger.
He spent almost the entirety of his career with Athletic Bilbao after making his debut with the first team in 2007, appearing in 507 competitive matches and scoring 56 goals for the club. He also played in Japan with Gamba Osaka, and in Australia with Melbourne City and Macarthur.
Susaeta won one full cap for Spain in 2012.
Born in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Susaeta came through the ranks of Athletic Bilbao, spending one season with the farm team and another with the B side. At the start of 2007–08 he was also registered for the reserves, but was given his first-team debut on 2 September 2007 and managed to score in a 3–1 loss at FC Barcelona. He finished with 29 La Liga appearances, netting on four occasions.
In the following years, Susaeta established himself firmly in the first team, although still not an undisputed starter for the Basques. On 31 January 2009, he scored four minutes from time to give his team a 3–2 home win against Málaga CF, in an eventual narrow escape from relegation. He added six games in that campaign's Copa del Rey, and they reached the final against Barcelona.
Susaeta netted a career-best 13 official goals in 2011–12, including five in the season's UEFA Europa League as Athletic went all the way to the final. The Lions also reached the decisive match in the domestic cup, once again against Barcelona.
Susaeta came on as a substitute in the 2015 Spanish Cup final, once more lost to Barcelona. He took the field in both legs of the following edition of the Supercopa de España, in which his team finally overcame the same opponent.
In September 2016, Susaeta broke the club record for appearances in European competition, passing the total of 55 set in the 1970s by goalkeeper José Ángel Iribar. In January 2019, he played in his 500th competitive match for Athletic, becoming only the fifth player in their history to reach that milestone (but still some way short of the overall record held by Iribar).
