It all comes down to the final — Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad will battle it out for the Copa del Rey crown Saturday.
Atletico fell to Barcelona 2-1 in their second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal Tuesday, but have still managed to advance on aggregate, 3-2. While Atleti will not have league success this year, they could still win the Copa del Rey and lift the trophy for the 11th time in club history.
