Atletico Madrid Falls to Real Sociedad in Copa del Rey Final

Atletico Madrid faced Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday night, where they suffered a defeat despite a goal from winger Ademola Lookman. Lookman equalized in the first half after Ander Barrenetxea had put Sociedad ahead in the first minute.

This marked Lookman's third goal in the competition. The match saw Atletico Madrid level the game again when Julian Alvarez canceled out a penalty scored by Mikel Oyarzabal.

After a 1-1 draw at the end of extra time, the match proceeded to penalties. Real Sociedad's goalkeeper, Unai Marrero, saved the first two penalty kicks, leading to Sociedad's victory and their fourth Copa del Rey title.

This loss dashed Atletico Madrid's hopes of winning a trophy this season, as they also prepare for a UEFA Champions League semi-final against Arsenal.
