Mikel Balenziaga definitely doesn't base his career on scoring goals.

The Athletic Bilbao defender could only look away in embarrassment Thursday after he powered the ball into his own net in the second minute, handing Sassuolo a 1-0 lead in the Europa League Group F fixture.
No more shooting for you, Mikel.
