After a grueling 120 minutes and a penalty shootout win over Mallorca, the siblings were seen sharing a tearful embrace on the pitch.

A video of this heartwarming moment, captured on X [formerly known as Twitter], quickly went viral.

Bilbao Ends Title Drought

This victory marked a historic occasion for Bilbao, ending their 40-year wait for the Copa del Rey trophy.

Supporters erupted in celebration, both at the Estadio Olímpico de Sevilla and back at Bilbao's San Mames stadium, where fans gathered to watch the match on a big screen.

Videos on X showcased the jubilant scenes at both locations, with thousands celebrating the long-awaited triumph.

Nico Williams Shines, Transfer Rumors Swirl

Nico Williams, who played a crucial role in the final with an assist for Bilbao's only goal, was one of the standout performers of the night.

His impressive display is likely to attract further interest from top clubs, with Chelsea reportedly keen on signing him in the summer.

Williams Brothers

The 21-year-old Spanish international has enjoyed a breakout season with Bilbao, registering 3 goals and 8 assists in 24 La Liga appearances.

Potential Chelsea Move and High Price Tag

Chelsea, currently sitting ninth in the Premier League and seeking to strengthen their attacking options, are rumored to be considering a move for Williams.

The Blues would need to activate his release clause, reportedly set at around £43 million.

Reports also suggest that Williams currently earns over £100,000 per week after tax in Spain, potentially making him one of Chelsea's highest earners if a transfer materializes. With Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk already occupying the left flank positions, Williams' potential role at Stamford Bridge would be interesting to see unfold.
