Alaves won the remaining ticket to play in the King's Cup final
Alaves won 1-0 in the second leg of the semi-final against Celta Vigo when playing at home on the evening of February 8.
1-0 is also the final score after two legs. In the first leg, the two teams drew 0-0 at Celta's Balaidos stadium.
The hero who sent Alaves into the final was Antonio Mendez. In the 82nd minute, just three minutes after coming on as a substitute, he scored the decisive goal against Celta.
In the final, Alaves will face the Cup holders Barca. Previously, Barca beat Atletico 4-3 on aggregate in the other two semi-finals.

Alaves won the remaining ticket to play in the King's Cup final. |
Alaves will not be a "delicious bait" for Barca. In the match in La Liga this season, the Catalan giant suffered a 1-2 defeat right at home at Nou Camp when hosting Alaves.
Reaching the final of the King's Cup is also a testament to the Basque team's strength. In the two semi-final matches, Celta - the team that eliminated Real Madrid earlier - failed to score a single goal against Alaves.
