Analysis Summary
Real Sociedad won the Copa del Rey final against Atlético Madrid, and captain Mikel Oyarzábal dedicated the victory to Aitor Zabaleta, a club fan killed by Atlético ultras in 1998. Spanish media outlets extensively documented how Zabaleta's memory dominated the pre-match atmosphere and trophy ceremony, with both the club president and Donostia's mayor invoking his name. This marks Real Sociedad's second Copa del Rey win over Atlético in penalty shootouts—they also defeated them on penalties in 1987.
