Society after 34 years.

The stage for the final was set last year. But crazy coronavirus; The Copa del Rey final was postponed. The wait was even longer for Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad. Bilbao is 36 years old, Society is 34 years old! Bilbao was not only the second most successful team in the history of the tournament, but the Society opened the knot.

Sociedad won the Copa del Rey again after 198. The much-disputed final, however, did not spread the dust of excitement. The fate of the final was decided by a penalty kick; An unwanted foul. The Society was proclaimed champion after beating Bilbao 1-0. Bilbao’s waiting garland is longer!

Barcelona is the most successful team in the history of the Copa del Rey. The Catalan giants have won the trophy a maximum of 30 times. The second most successful team is Athletic Bilbao, 23 times champion. Surprisingly, after playing five finals for the 24th title, Haral Bilbao in all! There couldn’t be a more cruel joke.

Mikel Warsabal scored the only winning goal in the final in Seville on Saturday night. Bilbao could not return the goal. Society regained its lost glory. This is his third title in the tournament. Society tasted its first title at this tournament in 1909.

The two teams focused on defensive football and fought unsuccessfully in the first half. The first and last goal in the 58th minute of the game. Again for the benefit of grief. Spanish defender Martínez saw a direct red card for fouling the Sociedad Porto striker in area D below. Society receives a penalty. Warsawal scored from the penalty spot.

However, in a few days Bilbao will once again have the opportunity to end the 37-year wait. They also cut the ticket to the tournament finale this season! They will meet Barcelona in the final of this season on April 6. Will the ‘Gero’ of Bilbao open that day? The answer is for the future.
