Julen Agirrezabala received his doctorate from La Cartuja in Seville. After a somewhat hesitant start possibly brought on by the nerves of playing such an important match, the goalkeeper was decisive in the penalty shootout, stopping the decisive Morlanes, Mallorca’s second after Muriqi made no mistake in the first . Radonjic then sends his shot high. From then on the title was in their hands, especially considering the red and white victory. Raúl García, Muniain, Vesga and Berenguer did not disappoint. When the former Torino player scored the last, the apotheosis took over all the red and white fans inhabiting the stands of La Cartuja.
Athletic could not play the game they usually do this season in the first half, which led them to fight for the Champions League and reach the Cup final. Nico Williams was unable to play at the Santiago Bernabéu due to muscle strain, but yesterday he was the lion who tried the most. There is a reason why he took the MVP of the final.
As soon as he started, he took advantage of a counterattack to send the ball wide. The red and white’s best minute came after a quarter of an hour of play, but after twenty minutes the winger put the ball back to Muriqi. Julen sent the Kosovar striker’s shot into a corner when he could have blocked it. The Mallorcan’s goal came in the following game after a corner kick. The San Sebastian goalkeeper brilliantly denied a lateral shot, but the ball fell to Dani Rodríguez, who placed the ball with great quality just beyond the reach of the red and white goalkeeper.
Athletic noticed the blow. It took several minutes for the lions to react. The first half ended with a shot from Nico into the side netting in the best chance of the first half and another cross shot from Gorka Guruzeta that went wide.
Athletic is another after passing the locker room, more vertical. Just at the start of the second half, Nico stole the ball and his excellent inside pass to Sancet was resolved by the Navarrese midfielder with a shot at the far post to make it 1-1. The Lions were superior but the scoreboard did not move, neither before regulation time nor in overtime. The penalty shootout came and then Julen Agirrezabala appeared to go down in red and white history with golden letters.
