Inaki Williams has called time on his Ghana career, bringing an emotional end to a four-year international journey that saw the Athletic Bilbao captain reconnect with his roots.The 32-year-old announced his retirement from international football on Friday, with his final appearance coming in Ghana’s 1-0 World Cup defeat by Colombia in July.Born in Bilbao to Ghanaian parents, Williams switched his international allegiance to the Black Stars in 2022 after making one appearance for Spain in a friendly against Bosnia six years earlier.##LINKED_NEWS_68656##He went on to win 28 caps for Ghana, scoring twice and helping the Black Stars reach the World Cup knockout stage this year for the first time since 2010. But for Williams, the experience was about far more than football."Ghana has given me much more than football," he said. "It has allowed me to come back home, feel even closer to my roots and experience the enormous pride of representing my country and wearing this flag on my chest."Ghana will always be a part of me."##LINKED_NEWS_68881##Williams leaves the international stage with his younger brother Nico on a very different path. The Bilbao winger remains part of the Spain setup and was involved as La Roja lifted this year's World Cup.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 5Friday22.00: (1.95) Sevilla (3.40) Valencia (4.10)Saturday15.00: (2.45) Racing Santander (3.40) Alaves (2.85)17.15: (2.15) Osasuna (3.30) Espanyol (3.50)19.30: (1.38) Athletic Bilbao (4.70) Elche (8.50)22.00: (1.12) Real Madrid (10.0) Rayo Vallecano (16.0)Sunday15.00: (1.75) Celta (3.50) Malaga (5.00)17.15: (15.0) Levante (8.00) Barcelona (1.15)19.30: (2.45) Getafe (2.80) Deportivo A Coruna (3.50)22.00: (2.90) Real Sociedad (3.45) Atletico Madrid (2.40)Monday22.00: (1.95) Villarreal (3.60) Betis (3.80)***odds are subject to change***##SOFASCORE_<iframe id="sofa-standings-embed-36-97268" src="https://widgets.sofascore.com/embed/tournament/36/season/97268/standings?widgetTitle=LaLiga&showCompetitionLogo=true&widgetTheme=light" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%!important; height:1123px!important;max-width:768px!important;"></iframe><div style="font-size:12px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;text-align:left"> Standings provided by <a target="_blank" href="https://sofascore.com/">Sofascore</a> </div>##
