Athletic to lift the Cup @ +300 to 325
Really think an upset may be on the cards. One complaint I've had all season with Guardiola is how he doesn't use his squad enough. His main players have logged too many minutes and he has admitted his team is tired. While Barcelona were pushing to clinch the title yesterday with all their main players (to which they failed allowing two late goals to draw 3-3) Athletic rested the majority of their starters this weekend. During this match they also suffered a key injury with Iniesta ruled out for this final.
Athletic are a traditional side located in the Basque region which only fields players that are homegrown. It will be a major accomplishment if they can win something with this policy in effect in this day and age. Players were greeted by 20,000 supporters on Sunday during their last training session before traveling to Valencia. Their last trophy came 25 years ago, coincidentally beating Barcelona in the final.
