The victory, fueled by first-half dominance and staunch defense, was hailed by coach Luis García Plaza as a 'triumph of faith' amid their relegation battle.
Real Sociedad claimed their fourth Copa del Rey title by defeating Atletico Madrid 4-3 in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw in the final in Seville. Goalkeeper Unai Marrero emerged as the hero, saving two penalties to secure the victory. It marks Sociedad's first win in the competition since 2020.
