| The method used in the Spanish King's Cup is the knock-out method, in which the winning team goes on to the next stage in the competition, and the losing team is completely out of it. After the quarter-final and semi-final stages, the last game in the competition is its finals, in which only two teams compete for the cup. The big prize given to the winning team, apart from the great honor and the King's Cup itself, is a ticket to the Europa League or to the Champions League. The Spanish football team that holds the most trophies to date, is Barcelona, with a collection of 28 trophies: the first trophy was won by Barcelona, the star of La Liga (Spanish league), already in 1910 and the last one was received in the current King's Cup game, 2016, where she defeated Sevilla (2: 0) and left the Cup at home. |
