Oyarzabal Expresses Pride in Real Sociedad's Copa del Rey Final Qualification
Mikel Oyarzabal, captain of Real Sociedad, expressed his immense joy and profound pride following his team's qualification for the final of the current edition of the Copa del Rey. The player highlighted that the greatest delight comes from the Basque club's fans being able to attend the final in person, a significant contrast to the 2021 final, which the team won without their supporters present due to the pandemic's repercussions.
The captain acknowledged that the team felt a pang of regret for not being able to share the previous final experience with their fans. Mikel Oyarzabal stated, "I feel proud and happy to reach the final. After what happened to us in the past two years, we had a lump in our throats because we couldn't give people the chance to live an experience that we didn't get to have, despite winning a previous cup. I am very happy that they will be able to experience it this time." These remarks reflect the high morale within the team after securing their spot at Anoeta Stadium.
Real Sociedad is set to face Atlético Madrid in the final match, which will be held at La Cartuja Stadium in Seville. The Basque club aims to capitalize on this fan momentum to secure another title, relying on the comprehensive and effective performance delivered by the players throughout the knockout stages of the competition.
