On Tuesday, Majorca eliminated Sociedad on penalties to qualify for the final of the King's Cup, tonight they were joined by Atlético after a spectacular game against Atlético Madrid.

In the Basque Country, a big fight was expected in the second leg (after Athletic won 1:0 at "Metropolitan"), but it was seen that the hosts completely dominated.

Ernesto Valverde's team triumphed 3:0 and will chase the 24th Cup trophy in history, the first since 1984. Since then, Athletic have lost six finals of this competition...

In the 13th minute, Injaki Williams checked Jan Oblak with a volley after his brother Niko's cross, and in the 42nd, the two switched roles..

Injaki was the assistant, and Niko was the scorer after the slow reaction of the "kolćoneros" defense and Stefan Savić.

The Montenegrin ace played the entire match in front of more than 52 spectators (52.061), which is a record attendance at "San Mames".

Diego Simeone's men were knocked down, the picture on the field did not change in the second half either when Gorko Guruzet scored the big 3:0.

The final is on April 6 in Seville.
