¡Real Sociedad ties everything!

The Copa del Rey will get its first finalist at the Santiago Bernabéu, where Real Madrid holds a narrow advantage after their 1-0 win in the first leg. Carlo Ancelotti, aiming for his third Copa title, isn’t underestimating a Real Sociedad side that has made its mark in the tournament and knows how to win at Madrid’s home ground. Though they’ve only won three times at the Bernabéu in the 21st century, two of their last three Copa del Rey visits ended in victory, including their unforgettable 3-4 win in 2020.

Madrid in Control but Not Complacent

With Endrick’s goal securing the first-leg advantage and key players like Valverde, Tchouaméni, Vinícius, and Rodrygo well-rested, Ancelotti is set to field a strong lineup. Lunin will continue in goal due to Courtois' absence, while Endrick, Madrid’s top scorer in the Copa, could start. The big question is Mbappé's role—on fire in front of goal but possibly in line for some rest. The Italian coach is eyeing his fourth final of the season, having already won the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup, but falling short in the Spanish Super Cup.

La Real Chasing a Historic Comeback

On the other side, Real Sociedad arrives with belief and nothing to lose. Several players from their 2020 Copa triumph over Madrid remain in the squad, dreaming of another upset—this time in front of a full stadium. Imanol Alguacil welcomes back Barrenetxea and Aguerd, but key absences like Brais Méndez and Odriozola could hurt them. Oyarzabal, in top form, will be the main attacking threat, while young talents like Mariezkurrena and Dani Díaz might get their chance to shine in a bid for glory.
