Real Sociedad's recent triumph in the Copa del Rey, their fourth title, sparked massive celebrations in Donostia, Spain, with over 100,000 fans participating in a parade. The victory came after a grueling match that required 120 minutes of play and a penalty shootout. However, the joy was short-lived as they faced Getafe just days later and suffered a 1-0 defeat. Getafe, known for their aggressive style of play, proved to be a challenging opponent, and despite Real Sociedad's attempts, they could not capitalize on their chances. Manager Pellegrino Matarazzo acknowledged the difficulty of transitioning from celebration to competition, stating, “We want more.” The team’s strong academy presence, with 10 players from their youth system, reflects their commitment to developing local talent. Despite the loss, the Copa del Rey victory remains a significant achievement, celebrated by players and fans alike.
