The final of the 2025-26 Copa del Rey will be played this Saturday, April 18, at 21:00 (local time) at the renovated Estadio de la Cartuja in Seville, pitting Atlético de Madrid against Real Sociedad in a highly anticipated showdown for the oldest and most prestigious trophy in Spanish football. This marks the seventh consecutive year the stadium hosts the competition's title match. Real Sociedad has confirmed its starting lineup for the decisive encounter, with Marrero between the posts, a defensive line featuring Aramburu, Jon Martín, Caleta-Car, and Sergio Gómez, and a midfield composed of Turrientes, Carlos Soler, and Sucic in the more advanced role. Up front, Oyarzabal leads the attack alongside Barrenetxea and Guedes, with Kubo relegated to the bench due to a lack of continuity in recent weeks. Notably, Zubeldia misses the match due to injury, while Gorrotxategi also starts among the substitutes.
