For the fourth consecutive year, "Barcelona" was dominant in the King's Cup but was finally dethroned - in the final, "Valencia" defeated the Catalans with a score of 2:1 and won trophies for the first time since 2008.
"Valencia" quickly gained a two-goal advantage in the first half and maintained it until midway through the second half. "The Bats" had to defend for a long time, but this tactic led them to the long-awaited title.
The team's coach Marcelino, who was close to being fired at the beginning of the season, barely held back his emotions after the final whistle.
"This is the happiest day of my career," the coach said. "This is the first triumph. There is always the first final and the first victory."
"Last year was also great for us, but then we had a difficult start to the season. We were going through a tough period, but today, because of what we had to endure, we fought for the title."
"The players gave me the opportunity to win these trophies. I feel a great love and gratitude towards this group," Marcelino added.
