Saturday, May 6, 2023. La Cartuja Stadium in Seville. On one side of the field and with 19 titles in the KO tournament in their showcases, Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid. At the other end of the green ring, Jagoba Arrasate's Osasuna, a team that aspires to its first trophy after being runner-up in 2005. The 2023 Copa del Rey final begins.
Real Madrid starts as a favorite and not only because of its history, since the white team has had a challenge from less to more on its way to the final, getting rid of Cacereño, Villarreal, Atlético and FC Barcelona.
The meringues earned the license to dream of the Cup in the semifinals, in the only two-legged tie and against their archrival. The 0-4 that he endorsed Barça at the Camp Nou in the second leg allowed him to opt for a title that he has not won for nine years.
Against white logic, the illusion of Osasuna, who reaches the final match of the Copa del Rey after having previously won against Fuentes, Arnedo, Nàstic, Betis, Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao. The team from Pamplona is facing its second attempt to lift the trophy, after losing to Betis 2-1 in the 2005 final at the Vicente Calderón. Eighteen years later, the Navarrese club is facing the opportunity of a lifetime.
José María Sánchez Martínez, from the Murcian committee, has been appointed to lead the Copa del Rey final, while Santiago Jaime Latre will be in the VAR. The referees will have semi-automatic offside technology and the decisions made by the VAR will be communicated through the video scoreboard and the television U that surrounds the pitch.
The doors of the Seville stadium will open three hours before the game, at 7:00 p.m. Before the ball gets rolling, there will be several musical performances by Puerto Rican singer Ozuna, DJ Brian Cross, Romy Low, Marta Sánchez and Alaska and Mario Vaquerizo.
The 2023 Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Osasuna begins at 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 6. The game can be followed live on television through RTVE's La 1. Likewise, you can follow the minute by minute of the grand final through the ELMUNDO live.
