Athletic Club and Mallorca will square off Saturday afternoon in an unlikely Copa del Rey final matchup.
Athletic is the second-most successful side in Copa del Rey’s history with 23 titles to its name, but the Basque outfit has not won the competition since 1984.
They’ll enter this tie as a firm favorite, having got past Barcelona in the quarterfinal and Atlético Madrid in the semifinal en route to the showpiece in Seville.

Mexican coach Javier Aguirre led Mallorca past Girona and Real Sociedad in the quarterfinals and semifinals to reach its first cup final since 2003.
