Aurtenetxe was definitely promoted to the main squad for 2011–12, under new manager Marcelo Bielsa.^[3] He played 54 official matches during the season and scored four goals, to help the Basques reach both the Copa del Rey and the Europa League finals – he netted one in the club's 1–2 away loss against Sporting Clube de Portugal in the latter competition's semifinals (4–3 aggregate win).^[4]
