Either Barcelona or Sevilla will complete a double in Sunday’s Copa del Rey final, but there could also be another double with two guard of honours for the Andalusians’ Europa League win and the Catalans being crowned La Liga champions.
While both teams will be fighting for the final trophy of the season, the encounter also has this additional element with the possibility of a historic double guard of honour between the two sides at the Estadio Vicente Calderon.

Then Los Pumas showed their appreciation by returning the compliment.
