Copa del Rey S/F: Madrid vs Sociedad live match time, streaming in India

The first leg of the second Copa del Rey semifinal is set to take place between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad on Thursday, February 27, at Sociedad’s home ground, Reale Arena in San Sebastián. Madrid will once again be favourites to win the match as, after initial hiccups, they have regained form, with their key players—Vinícius Jr., Mbappé, and Bellingham—scoring goals in bunches. On the other hand, Sociedad will hope to pull off an upset and take a much-needed lead in the home fixture before visiting Santiago Bernabéu for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal against Madrid on April 2.

 

 

Huge boost for Madrid 

Real Madrid will be happy to have Jude Bellingham on their side despite a two-match ban, as his suspension is only effective in La Liga. He has been instrumental in Real’s success over the last two seasons, both with goals and assists, and having him available for selection will be a huge boost for Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, who is not a big fan of the stacked football calendar this season.

 

17th match in 52 days 

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, while speaking to a reporter on Tuesday, said that Madrid will be playing their 17th match in the last 52 days, which is concerning, as such a packed schedule puts players at risk of injuries. Notably, if Madrid qualifies for the Champions League and Copa del Rey finals, as well as the Club World Cup in the summer, they could end up playing 72 games this season—an extremely demanding number for any team in a calendar year.
