Illarramendi: “We will give everything to bring this Cup”

The Royal Society continues to warm up its engines for a historic appointment. A new Cup final, something that had not happened in the San Sebastian club for more than three decades, and on top of that with an unprecedented Basque derby. Athletic and Real had seen each other many times in the League, and many others in the Cup, with the semi-final of the 1987 edition as the high point so far between the two historic Basque football clubs. Never before in a final. For this reason, the San Sebastian club is throwing the rest out with different initiatives aimed at getting closer to its fans, who due to the pandemic will not be able to accompany the Real in the stands of La Cartuja. The last one was an emotional video in which he recalled all the titles that the San Sebastian club has and that ended with a few words from the captain of the Real, Asier Illarramendi, aimed at realistic fans. “We will give everything to bring us this Cup,” said the mutrikuarra in a clear declaration of intent.

“You already know what it is to win a title with Real Sociedad, you have already experienced it,” began the Mutrikuarra midfielder, addressing the older generations. “Now we need your support and your experience to win the final. Push like always. We will do our best to bring that Cup home. For you”, concludes in the video the captain of the Real, who with an open plane appears sitting in the empty stands of Anoeta with the sky already dark and the lights almost off of the San Sebastian stadium, alluding to how much they are missing the fans .
