Athletic je osvojio Kup kralja i tako prekinuo pust dugačak čak 40 godina. Momčad Ernestea Valverdea pobijedila je Mallorcu nakon boljeg izvođenja penala na kultnoj seviljskoj La Cartuji.
Athleticu je to prvi trofej još od dvostruke krune 1984., kada je osvojio La Ligu u Kup kralja. Ove sezone bit će to samo Kup, ali to je bilo i više nego dovoljnom najposebnijem klubu na svijetu i njegovim navijačima koji četiri desetljeća čekaju trofej.
Trofej je u Bilbao uplovio na legendarnoj La Gabbari, brodu koji tradicionalno donosi Athleticove trofeje u Bilbao. Brod je nakon 40 godina zaplovio niz rijeku Nervión sve do San Mamesa. U Bilbau su se skupile stotine tisuća ljudi za nevjerojatnu feštu. Kako je to izgledalo, pogledajte u nastavku:
