Athletic Club vs Real Sociedad Team News
Athletic Club, led by Andoni Iraola, enter the fixture following a morale-boosting quarter-final win over Valencia. Despite struggling to balance their domestic campaign with Champions League duties earlier this season, the Lions have found their form in the cup. They are expected to rely heavily on the pace of Iñaki and Nico Williams, though defender Dani Vivian remains a doubt following a knock.
Real Sociedad arrive in Bilbao in exceptional form under new manager Pellegrino Matarazzo, remaining unbeaten in their last ten matches across all competitions. Captain Mikel Oyarzabal, who famously scored the winner when these sides met in the 2020 final, is expected to lead the line. Matarazzo has promised an attacking approach, stating that his side will not play "with the handbrake on" despite the two-legged nature of the tie.
