Sevilla are Spanish Cup champions for the second time in three years! Ah si, it's a title they thoroughly deserve (oh come on Atletico, you already won the UEFA Europa Cup) The first thing these tipos did was to dedicate the win to Antonio Puerta and celebrate with their fans.

After the tragic deaths of Antonio Puerta and Dani Jarque, and the indefinite retirement from football by Ruben de la Red, Spanish football recieved another kick in the teeth with the news that Sevilla defender Sergio Sanchez has to withdraw from all footballing activity. The Andalucian club had carried out medical tests on all the whole first team squad, with the young defender returning results that showed he suffers from a heart problem, the exact nature of which is still unknown.

El jugador del Sevilla Sergio Sánchez que actualmente se encuentra fuera de las canchas por un problema cardiaco a sus 23 años que nubla su carrera como futbolista.

Pero el amor a la camiseta y la pasión al futbol lo enfrentan a un juego definitivo para poder reincorporarse a la vida y exigencias físicas que tiene que realizar un jugador profesional.

The Sevilla Trio in more harmonious times.

When Sevilla hosted cellar-dweller Xerez on Tuesday evening, an aura of uneasiness surrounded the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. In the front of the Sevillistas' minds was the poor form of their team. An extended run of indolent performances culminated on Saturday evening with a 2-0 debacle against Espanyol, where Sevilla would lose Jesús Navas for a month with an ankle injury.

Referee Alfonso Pérez Burrull had many situations with which to deal in this match.

While Real Madrid and Barcelona run away from the rest of the field in the struggle for the La Liga title, the tussle for the next four European spots is just as fascinating. The mix of teams truly runs the gamut from the usuals to the upstarts.

Sevilla 2 - 0 Atletico Madrid
(1-0) 5' Capel, (2-0) 91' Jesus Navas
All the talk before the final was about who wanted it the most. Who was dreaming more about winning the final. Even now I think it's impossible to say. Diego Capel and Jesus Navas scored the goals that ensured the Copa del Rey would be travelling down to Sevilla.

Real Madrid have announced the sad news that midfielder Ruben De La Red has been forced to retire from football aged just 25 due to the heart problem that has prevented him from playing for the last two years.

It's not often that football brings you to tears.

Today, however, as Ruben de la Red announced his retirement, was one of those rare moments.

Spain has had more than its fair share of on-field tragedies in the last few years, with the deaths of Antonio Puerta and Jarque.

Andrés Iniesta became one of the few Barcelona players to be truly loved by Espanyol fans with this gesture.

Before the biggest match in Andrés Iniesta's career and in the history of Spanish football, Iniesta had a trillion thoughts running through his head. One of those thoughts that came to fruition was writing a message to his close friend, Daniel Jarque, on his undershirt.
