Real Madrid reached the Copa Del Rey final for only the second time in eleven years after playing out a dramatic 4-4 draw with Real Sociedad in the second leg of the semi-final. With a 1-0 advantage from the first leg in San Sebastian, Madrid edged the tie 5-4 on aggregate, sending their fans into wild celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a club so dominant in Europe, this was a rare deep run in Spain\u2019s domestic cup\u2014and they made it count with passion, precision, and the grit of champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sociedad Strike First, But Madrid Hit Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite early control from Madrid, it was Real Sociedad who struck first. Ander Barrenetxea pounced on a perfectly weighted pass from Pablo Mar\u00edn to slide the ball through Lunin\u2019s legs in the 15th minute, levelling the tie on aggregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Los Blancos responded swiftly. After close efforts from Endrick and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior, the two Brazilians combined in style. Vin\u00edcius used the outside of his boot to release Endrick, who lobbed goalkeeper Remiro calmly to restore Madrid\u2019s lead in the 30th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaos and Comebacks in the Second Half<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second half saw an explosion of drama. After Jude Bellingham tested Remiro from distance, Sociedad regained the lead\u2014this time through sheer luck. A deflected cross from Mar\u00edn bounced off David Alaba and into the Madrid net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moments later, Lady Luck smiled again on Sociedad, with another Alaba deflection guiding Mikel Oyarzabal\u2019s shot into the back of the net. Suddenly, the visitors were leading 3-1 on the night and ahead on aggregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Madrid’s fighting spirit roared back. Jude Bellingham calmly slotted in a quick response after brilliant wing play from Vin\u00edcius. Then came the moment that tipped the balance\u2014Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni rose highest to nod home a header, and Madrid was again in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late Equaliser Forces Extra Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With injury time ticking down, Sociedad earned a free-kick and made it count. Substitute Sergio G\u00f3mez whipped in a perfect delivery, and Oyarzabal rose to head past Lunin to make it 4-4 on aggregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellingham nearly settled it in regulation, but was denied by Remiro, taking the game to extra time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
