The Basques flooded Andalusia, there were over 100.000 Bilbao fans in Seville and 50.000 in the national stadium "Cartuha".
So many watched the Copa del Rey final at the Athletic Bilbao stadium, San Mames.
And their players did not fail - Atlético beat Mallorca on penalties, for the first trophy after the 40-year-old and iconic club from Spain.
It is the 24th Copa del Rey for the pride of the Basque Country, but the first since 1984. Only Barcelona are ahead with 31 titles.
In the past six years, this trophy has been won by six different clubs - Real Madrid, Betis in 2022, Barcelona in 2021, Real Socsijedad in 2020, and Valencia in 2019.
Mallorca was the underdog but took the lead through Dani Rodriguez in the 21st minute, Sunset equalized in the 50th minute.
Both sides had chances until the end, but goalkeeper Hulen Agiresabala showed in the penalty shootout why Basque goalkeepers have always been valued.
And look how the celebration was at San Mames, hundreds of kilometers away from Cartuha and the big final.
