Moncayola vs. Vinicius
Another of the great duels that will take place tonight will undoubtedly be the Moncayola vs. Vinicius. The Brazilian is being one of the proper names of this season in The league. With 22 goals and 20 assists in 49 games in all competitions and an overflowing capacity, he is one of the most dangerous footballers in the Madrid. Faced with Nacho Vidal’s injury, the Osasunista midfielder and wild card from Arrasate will have the arduous task of stopping him.
The importance of Sergio Herrera
If we talk about possible protagonists of the night, we must aim at Sergio Herrera. the goal of Osasuna is a nuisance to all strikers, but especially to Karim Benzema. The French striker missed the three penalties that he has thrown at the Osasunista goalkeeper, being one of the goalkeepers with the best success rate in this facet in The league (47.5%). Sergio Herrera can be differential in a scenario as key as a possible penalty shootout.
probable lineups
Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Camavinga; Kroos, Valverde, Ceballos; Rodrygo, Benzema and Vinicius.
Osasuna: Sergio Herrera; Moncayola, Aridane, David Garcia, Juan Cruz; Torro, Aimar, Moi Gomez; Peña, Chimy Avila and Abde.
Two very different realities
real Madrid and Osasuna will compete tonight, at 10:00 p.m. in the stadium The Charterhouse Seville, for a title with a different meaning for both. those of Jagoba Arrasate they seek to release their record after 103 years of history. those of Carlo Ancelotti they want to close the circle and, in just two seasons, have won all possible club titles with this Cup.
Carlo Ancelotti has only won one Copa del Reywhich he achieved in his first stage in the real Madrid in the year 2014. Since then, the whites have not been in a final again. If they beat Osasuna, they would equal the former white coaches in cup titles Paco Bru (1934 and 1936); Miguel Munoz (1961 and 1970), and Louis Molowny (1974 and 1982).
The balance of Madrid and Osasuna in the Cup
Real Madrid have played 39 Copa del Rey finals and have lost 20. They have 19 titles. FC Barcelona is the king of the competition with 31 titles, and the one that has played the most finals (42). Tonight, in Seville, the whites will play their 40th final against Osasuna. The rojillos have only been in one final. They lost to Betis after extra time, 2-1, in 2005.
By Osasuna appeared David Garcia. The captain is very clear about it: “We really want to. The atmosphere and the impact of the game are already noticeable. we have no fear“. The central defender from Pamplona showed himself”convinced of being able to get the title” of champion of Spain, which would mean “the icing on the cake” to his career and, “above all, fulfilling a dream since he was a child”, since it would be the “first in the history of Osasuna, which is easy to say”.
At yesterday’s press conference he also spoke Daniel Carvajal, right-back for Real Madrid. The Spaniard, used to nights like this Sunday, assures that he arrives at a great moment: “Every player has better and worse moments. And it’s true that I feel pretty good at this point in the season, I’m plugged in.”. The defender also wanted to give value to the Cup: “At the beginning of the season we set out to win all the titles. The Cup was choking us. Is not easy. We don’t see ourselves as favourites. Osasuna has won by merit to reach the final. It’s a great team and they showed it at the Camp Nou.”
Jagoba Arrasate spoke to the media at the press conference prior to tonight’s grand final and assured that he knows how to beat Madrid: “We will make the party uncomfortable“. “We are calm and with great desire, we must face it naturally. We have a squad that is a family”, highlighted the coach of Osasuna. On the chances of winning in a long game, he was blunt: “You have to do many things well. we can’t make mistakes. We have to set the bar high and let Madrid be the one to surpass it.”
Carlo Ancelotti He spoke to the media at the previous press conference and made his future at the club clear: “I have a contract until 2024”. “I don’t risk my life, my life is fine. I’m risking a Copa de Rey final and a Champions League semifinal. I have an extraordinary affection for the president and that is enough. Also from the fans, the players and the rest,” he stressed.
Ancelotti recovers everyone
The Italian coach facilitated the call on Friday with the news of Modric, Benzema either Mendywho return after injury, or Viniciuswho did not participate before the Real society by sanction. Without options in LaLiga, the white team is ready for the final of the Cup and the semifinals of Champions.
