Real Madrid and Real Sociedad will meet in the second leg of the 2024/2025 Copa del Rey semi-final at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad Spanish King’s Cup match is scheduled to kick off on Wednesday, 2 April 2025 at 01:00 IST.
Madrid took a 1-0 lead on aggregate after winning at Sociedad thanks to Endrick’s lone goal. The narrow victory gave Los Blancos valuable capital to build on to reach the final.
In the first leg, Sociedad enjoyed 52% of the possession to Madrid’s 48%. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s side were the more aggressive, recording 14 shots on target to Sociedad’s 11. Madrid’s attacking threat was the difference in this encounter.
Both teams entered the game on the back of La Liga victories. Madrid beat Leganes 3-2 at the Bernabeu, while Sociedad narrowly edged out Real Valladolid 2-1. These positive results could be a confidence boost for both sides.
Madrid are on an impressive run at the Bernabeu, having won their last five home games in all competitions, scoring at least two goals in each. However, their defensive frailties have been a cause for concern, with just one clean sheet in their last 10 home games. That could leave an opening for Sociedad.
On the other hand, Sociedad have just ended a run of six games without a win. Victory against Valladolid could be the turning point for Imanol Alguacil’s side. However, they will need to improve if they are to turn things around in Madrid.
Sociedad’s away form is also worrying, especially in recent games. They are winless in their last four away games in all competitions, conceding at least two goals in each. This will be a tough challenge for them at the Bernabeu.
Madrid also have a dominant record in recent meetings with Sociedad. Los Blancos have won their last four meetings with Sociedad in all competitions. Madrid have even kept a clean sheet in the last three encounters.
Sociedad still have a chance if they can improve their goalscoring record. However, Madrid’s superior aggregate and home record make them favourites to reach the final, where they will face either A
