The 2025/2026 season will go down in the history of Spanish football as an hour of unprecedented revival of Real Sociedad. The Basque club has achieved a strong victory in the final of the Spanish Cup, beating Atletico Madrid at the La Cartuja stadium..

The main creator of this success was Pellegrino Matarazzo, a native of New Jersey with a degree in mathematics, who turned outsiders into champions. Just six months ago, such a finale seemed absolutely fantastic. The team was in the previous place in La Lisa, but did not qualify for the Cup due to the representative of the Primeri Federacion, the Eldense club, having competed only in the remaining season.

Everything changed when Pellegrino Matarazzo took over the team during the break. Already in the first match under the leadership of the new coach, Real Sociedad demonstrated a completely different level of play, winning (1:1) with Atletico Madrid, and the Basques were just a short time away from victory.

Then the team saw the enemy streak of 10 home matches without defeat, turning their stadium into a real fortress. The new Mittevo manager has charged the pendant with his energy. Matarazzo demonstrated not only his leadership acumen, but also his tactical acumen.

This innovative approach allows us to turn around the lives of players who previously did not get enough game time, thanks to Benata Turrientes and Alvaro Odriosola.

On our way to the finals there will be more dramatic tests and victories in a non-stop show:.

1/8 finals: In a dramatic match against Osasuna, the team denied Unai Marrero's goal in the 92nd half, after which they won in a penalty shootout.

Quarterfinals: In a tense match for a 2:1 draw, goalkeeper Alex Remiro made a key save in the 67th minute, which allowed him to win.

Final: Matarazzo's fathers, although minimally, beat the main opponents of Athletic Bilbao - 1:0 away and 1:0 at home.

In the final match against Atletico (Madrid), Real Sociedad's team demonstrated phenomenal performance.

Having withstood the pressure of their rival, they realized their goal of getting a trophy.

The names of those who, having won this victory, will forever be lost in the history of the club: Alex Remiro, Jon Mikel Aramburu, Aichen Munoz, Jon Gorroxategi, Igor Subeldia, Aritz Elustondo, Ander Barrenechea, Benat Turrientes,.

Together with the math coach, they realized that the correct developments and faith in power have the power to turn the course of any season.
