Nico went to shop to buy a cap when and could not imagine what was about to happen

Athletic Bilbao and Spain star Nico Williams revealed that it has taken a little time for him to get used to being famous and popular.

The prolific winger has said that while he was recognised before, rarely did it have a major impact on his choices.

Williams explained that now even abroad he is well-known.

"Before the Euros, people in Spain knew me, but now it's a global thing. When we went to Italy to play with Roma in the Europa League, I thought that people weren't going to know me there and, suddenly, I arrived and there were quite a few people waiting for me and saying my name or asking for photos. That impacted me. Everything is a little different from the life I led before, but I accept it with great pleasure," Williams told El Mundo Deportivo.

To explain the difference, he talked about an anecdote regarding his recent shopping in the Spanish capital.

"I always liked going to Madrid with my friends or my family and I could go shopping like anyone else, it went a little unnoticed, but the last few times I have stopped going to Gran Via because everyone wants photos, there is a big commotion and you can't even walk. The last time I went to buy a cap at Bershka with my friends and, suddenly, a lot of people surrounded me. I didn't understand why. Now I understand that my level of fame has changed and there are things that are better not to do, but in any case, it is very nice and I am enjoying the experience. How can you not like that people love you so much?" concluded he.
