Although there were three games in Spain's BBVA Primera Liga this Saturday one side not in action and one from the Spanish second division deservedly captured the headlines.

Atletico Madrid celebrated their stunning win over city rivals, Real Madrid in the final of the Copa del Rey on Friday night.

Diego Simeone's side took their first win over Real in 14 years and deservedly showed off their trophy in an open topped bus through the heart of the capital, offering the trophy at the local and regional authority buildings in front of tens of thousands of delirious fans, at last able to celebrate bragging rights in the city.

Meanwhile across town the rumors over the future of Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho continue to gather strength with one radio station even going as far as to announce that his departure from the club will be confirmed as soon as next week, even though there are still two games left to play in the season.

The other side to capture the headlines was Elche, who were promoted to the BBVA Primera Liga without having to kick a ball.

Alcorcon's draw away to Barcelona B means that Elche, who entertain Almeria on Sunday, are assured of finishing in the top-2 of the Spanish Second division and next season will play in the Spanish top flight for the first time in 24 years.

The side coached by Fran Escriba have led the second division for neatly the entire campaign and their return to the Primera Liga sees one of Spain's historic sides return to the elite.

Granada look certain to be one of Elche's rival next season after a 3-0 home win over Osasuna left them almost assured of maintaining their place in the league.

El Arabi, Guillerme Sigueira, from the penalty spot and Diego Buonanotte scored the goals which have left Osasuna in a very delicate position with two tough games left this campaign.

The other news was in the battle for fourth place and Valencia took a big step towards winning a place in next season's Champions League with a 1-0 win away to a very lackluster Getafe.

Jeremy Mattheu's 44th minute goal was enough to seal the points and afterwards Getafe coach Luis Garcia complained that his side's lack of effort had made him think they were losing 3-0 rather than by a solitary goal.

Valencia's win put the pressure on Real Sociedad, who kicked off their game away to Sevilla three points behind their rivals for fourth place and things got worse for the Basque side when Igor Rakitic put Sevilla ahead after 11 minutes.

However, the same player put through his own net five minutes later, before Imanol Agirretxe put Real Sociedad in the lead after 24 minutes.

The rest of the game was a thrilling affair with both sides having chances but no goals, although Real Sociedad last midfielder Asier Illaramendi through injury in the closing moments of the match, when the home fans lost their temper and began calling for club president, Jose Maria del Nido to resign.
