Throughout a season, multiple LALIGA EA SPORTS teams can savour moments of glory, not just the one that wins the title. Athletic Club and RCD Mallorca are two of the teams who are putting together exciting seasons for their fans, and this weekend Ernesto Valverde's and Javier Aguirre's squads will meet in the final of the Copa del Rey, aiming to put the cherry on top of a season that will already be difficult to forget.

Iñaki Williams is the player with the most shots in LALIGA EA SPORTS, with 37, while Nico Williams is the second-top player in terms of having the most dribbles, with 62, and the second-top also for assists, with eight.
