Last Saturday, Real Sociedad won the Copa del Rey at Seville's Cartuja stadium, defeating Atlético de Madrid in a penalty shootout. One of the key figures in this victory was the Real Sociedad goalkeeper, recognized for his outstanding performance in the final. Alongside him, a physical trainer from Azpeitia is also part of the txuri-urdin first team.
A reception event for both team members will be held in Azpeitia's main square this Thursday at 7:00 PM. The event has been organized by the Town Council, along with the football clubs Lagun Onak and Ikasberri. During the ceremony, the Real Sociedad representatives will appear on the town hall balcony to greet the public.
“"It is beautiful to see a town overflowing with joy, and without a doubt, joy has been predominant in Azpeitia since Real Sociedad won the Copa del Rey. Furthermore, the prominence of citizen Unai Marrero in Saturday's final has made the victory even more special. Many citizens have expressed their desire to congratulate and show their admiration for the goalkeeper."
The Town Council has stated that, although the reception will be “modest,” it will serve to express the town's joy. Considering the effort of many people behind Real Sociedad's historic victory, the physical trainer will also be honored. Although his work is more discreet, it is fundamental for the performance of the footballers, and he will receive recognition for his work at Thursday's event.
Therefore, the Town Council has encouraged citizens to come to the square this Thursday, dressed in txuri-urdin colors, to celebrate the victory.
