Treat yourself and others to a midweek cup clash underneath the lights at one of European football’s iconic venues as the 20-time Copa del Rey winners, Real Madrid, look to book their place in the 2025 Final.

Los Blancos hold a slender 1-goal advantage over Real Sociedad as the sides head to the Bernabeu on April 1 for the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tie. Endrick scored the only goal of the game when the sides met in the 1st leg at the Reale Arena in San Sebastian. The Brazilian youngster latched on to a brilliant through ball from Jude Bellingham in the 19th minute to slot home. That result sets up an intriguing second leg that you won’t want to miss, with a place in the Final at the Estadio De La Cartuja in Sevilla on April 26 at stake.
Real Madrid are going great guns, still eyeing prizes on all fronts following their penalty shootout triumph against Atletico Madrid at the last-16 stage of the Champions League. The Copa del Rey may be low on their priority list, but adding silverware to the bulging trophy cabinet at the Bernabeu has become second nature to Carlo Ancelotti’s men, and they won’t go soft on Sociedad.
Real Sociedad are off the pace in La Liga when it comes to European qualifying spots, so going all the way in the Copa del Rey will prove essential if they are to realise their dreams of playing in a continental club competition for a sixth successive season. As well as securing a Europa League spot for the next season, Copa del Rey winners (and runners-up) also qualify for the four-team Supercopa de Espana event.
Including that first-leg defeat, Sociedad have lost four on the bounce against Real Madrid, failing to score in the last three of those encounters. However, the underdogs will take some heart from Copa del Rey match-ups between the two clubs in previous campaigns. They famously beat Real Madrid 4-3 at the Bernabeu in the 2020 quarter-finals, en route to lifting the trophy that season.
Let GOAL give you the lowdown on how to buy tickets to Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey semi-final clash with Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu, including the cost and where to purchase them.

How did Real Madrid and Real Sociedad qualify for the Copa del Rey semi-finals?
Getty ImagesAs Real Madrid reigned supreme as La Liga champions last season, they didn’t enter this season’s Copa del Rey until the Round of 32 stage in January. Ancelotti’s men kicked off with a 5-0 romp on the road against minnows Deportiva Minera, but they’d be given a much stiffer test in the last 16 by Celta Vigo. They’d eventually see off Los Celestes 5-2 in extra-time. Real Madrid also needed to dig deep in the quarter-finals, where an injury-time winner from youngster Gonzalo Garcia saved their blushes against Leganes and secured them a spot in the semis.
Real Sociedad also began their Copa del Rey quest with a stress-free 5-0 victory on the road over Jove Espanol. However, tougher away victories would follow against Conquense (1-0 AET) and Ponferradina (2-0). Back on home turf, Imanol Alguacil's Txuri-Urdin would send Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna packing to set up their semi-final encounter with Real Madrid. Defense has been key to Real Sociedad’s Copa del Rey run so far, having conceded just twice in six games during the competition to date.
