Atletico Madrid and Valencia have met on many occasions throughout history, but the cup final of the 1998-99 season will remain etched in the memory of the Valencianistas.
The 'che' side defeated Atletico Madrid by three goals to nil, and one of them was scored by Gaizka Mendieta. The legendary ex-player invented a beautiful goal inside the area and with a left-footed shot, without the ball touching the ground, he beat the red and white goalkeeper.
