We all know and celebrated Barcelona advancing to the Copa del Rey Final after defeating Atlético Madrid 3-2 on aggregate, but we still needed to find out who the opponent would be in the title decider.
Two La Liga teams, Celta Vigo and Deportivo Alavés were fighting for a spot in the final and drew 0-0 last week at the Balaídos, Celta's home stadium. They faced off on Wednesday night at the Mendizorroza, Alavés' home in the Basque Country, and there was a surprised prepared for all of us.
The match was uneventful with very few chances for both sides, but there was a feeling that Celta, the team that knocked out Real Madrid with a win at the Santiago Bernabéu, would eventually confirm their status as favorites and score the winner to move on and face Barça.
