Sociedad's Captain Dedicates Copa Del Rey Trophy To Fanatic Supporters
JAKARTA - Real Sociedad star Mikel Oyarzabal dedicates the pending success of the 2020 Copa del Rey to the club's fanatical fans.
Spain international Oyarzabal scored a crucial penalty to secure a narrow 1-0 win over Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao in the rescheduled final at the Estadio de La Cartuja.
Oyarzabal captained La Real that night following the absence of club captain Asier Illarramendi. However, he generously handed the trophy to the veteran midfielder.
"This is for everyone, for my family, for my friends, for all Realzales," said an emotional Oyarzabal in an interview with Mundo Deportivo after the match.

The success was La Real's first major trophy since 1987, and their first final since 1988. That means it ended 33 years of barren heartache at the Estadio Anoeta.
Meanwhile Bilbao, they have the opportunity to treat disappointment this time when they are in the Copa del Rey 2020/2021 final against Barcelona in the same stadium in two weeks.
