Copa Del Rey: Athletic Bilbao Favourite To Win Final Against Mallorca
Athletic Club Bilbao: Two of the standout teams of the season, Athletic Club Bilbao and Mallorca face each other in the Spanish Copa del Rey final in the Estadio de la Cartuja in Seville on Saturday night with a lot more than a trophy at stake.
Athletic Bilbao travel to Sevilla looking to end a 40-year wait to lift the trophy, while Mallorca last won it in 2003. Along with that, Athletic, who are fifth in the La Liga standings and just one spot away from the Champions League qualification positions, will also be looking to maintain their form and clinch a spot in the European championships.
Despite losing six Cup finals since 1984, including two in two weeks of each other in the pandemic-affected 2021, Athletic coached by Ernesto Valverde are the favourite to win the Copa del Rey final. They had defeated Mallorca 4-0 in the San Mames Stadium at the beginning of February.
