Overview
- Played Saturday at Estadio La Cartuja in Seville, the neutral‑venue final decides Spain’s primary domestic cup.
- Atlético seek a first trophy since the 2021 league title and a first Copa since 2013, with victory offering a lift before the April 29 Champions League semi against Arsenal.
- Antoine Griezmann, the club’s record scorer, is in his last season before a move to MLS side Orlando City and could finish with a cup win.
- Real Sociedad enter on an upswing under American coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, hired in December after a slump, who has steered them from near the drop zone to seventh place and a cup final.
- Defensive availability looms large, with José María Giménez ruled out for Atlético and Dávid Hancko a doubt, as Sociedad manage injuries that force changes in their back line.
