Real Sociedad and Athletic are measured this Wednesday in Anoeta with the aim of winning the second ticket for the grand final of the 2025/26 King's Cup.
With that slight advantage, the American team Pellegrino Matarazzo dreams of playing a final with his audience, something he hasn't achieved since 1988, as the last time he fought for the trophy, in 2020, he played behind closed doors against Athletic.
On the sporting side, it will be the third consecutive semi-final of the Royal Society after losing to Mallorca and Real Madrid. Matarazzo will not be able to use the injured Rupérez, Odriozola and Kubo, but will have Oskarsson ready to play this Tuesday after training with the rest of the team.
With thereturn of Marrero , it seems that the azpeitiarra will defend the goal of the Royal Society in octaves as it did brilliantly against Osasuna, to the detriment of Alex Remiro.
"We're going to go out and win the game," Matarazzo said after training this Tuesday. "Tomorrow we're not going to go out and see what's going on. We're going to go out and win, every fight, step by step, always in the game. I want the team to score goals and be aggressive."
The Basque derbi has reached the red-white team at its best in the season, at least in terms of results. Ernesto Valverde's team has added seven of the last nine points in the League and has turned off the alarms lit in January.
For Athletic, beyond the points in the last few weeks, the best news has come from the infirmary. As for the team that was plagued by physical problems in the one-way game, Ernesto Valverde has recovered four important players, Vivian, Yuri, Berenguer and Sancet, as well as the then sanctioned Paredes , but Nico Williams will not be able to play.
As for the initial eleven, except for surprise, Valverde is expected to maintainhisbet on the goal Alex Padilla, and Rego would be the replacement of Ruiz de Galarreta in the middle of the field if the Eibarrés could not play.
Valverde said on Tuesday that the "arguments" of his team and the Royal Society are "different" because they have "different styles," but both aim to reach the final.
