Arteta urges Arsenal to have no regrets in Manchester City title showdown

Real Sociedad wins Copa del Rey after penalty shootout against Atletico Madrid

Real Sociedad defeated Atletico Madrid 4-3 on penalties to secure their fourth Copa del Rey title after a 2-2 draw in Seville. Real Sociedad took an early lead through Ander Barrenetxea, but Ademola Lookman equalized for Atletico. Mikel Oyarzabal then put Real Sociedad ahead from the penalty spot before halftime. Julian Alvarez scored for Atletico to force extra time and ultimately penalties. In the shootout, Real Sociedad goalkeeper Unai Marrero saved two penalties, and Pablo Marin converted the winning kick. Atletico Madrid, who are Champions League semi-finalists, were left to reflect on missed opportunities. Atletico captain Koke acknowledged the defeat, stating that the team had to "row against the current from the start" and congratulated Real Sociedad. The match saw the fastest goal in a Copa del Rey final, scored by Barrenetxea after just 14 seconds. Antoine Griezmann, who is set to leave Atletico for MLS side Orlando City, was involved in some of Atletico's attacking plays. Atletico goalkeeper Juan Musso, who started ahead of Jan Oblak, conceded a penalty that led to Real Sociedad's second goal. Despite creating chances in extra time, neither team could find a winner before the penalty shootout.
