Shock exit for Madrid as Villarreal win the Kings Cup

An inspired effort from Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente sealed the biggest upset of the season as they turned a 2 nil loss from game one of the two leg tie into a 3 nil win victory against the one of the world's best teams in Real Madrid.

Terrible referee decisions did not help the Madristas, with the culmination of decisions coming in minute 118 as Madrid defender Pepe was ruled to have handled the ball in the box to gift Llorente a goal from the spot and progress.

"The decisions from the officials was appalling today." JM said after the loss.
"I am disgusted. But it is our own fault - we had the opportunity to progress - just one goal would have been enough."

In the Final, Villarreal easily disposed of Bilbao 3 - 1 to claim the Kings Cup Trophy.
