Some of the Basque players were as delighted as children to see the season's first snowfall. No sooner had they descended the aircraft steps than they began making snowballs, launching them at teammates as they exited the plane.
Several members of the Spanish squad were surprised to encounter snow so early in the season.
Currently, Athletic sit 27th in the overall Champions League group stage standings with three points, while Slavia Prague are in 30th place with two points.
