Real Sociedad claimed their fourth Copa del Rey, their second in five years, defeating Atlético de Madrid on penalties last night, and the celebrations flowed.
"I will go with the flow. The usual ones will organise it, the ones who love a party, Guedes, Elustondo," Kubo said. "Sometimes I talk too much and my team-mates tell me off. At 2-2 I was down and I knew I would come on. Now I need minutes to reach the World Cup in good shape." He was speaking to Ibai Llanos.
"It felt like home, it felt like Anoeta, we could hear our fans more. I think they cheated and had more tickets. They had more than half, but by voice we beat them too."
"Our end was behind that goal and that gets Marrero going," said Barrenetxea, scorer of the first goal, about Marrero, hero of the night.
"I thought of my wife, my little one, my parents, my grandmother, my grandfather who was at the last one," said Carlos Soler, laughing that he had even forgotten it secures European football. "I am not one for crying, but it all came."
"I have never walked on water, but it must be similar. A lifelong dream," said Odriozola, out long term through injury. "After this my career is complete and I can die in peace. I had a scare in my knee and was in hospital. I did not know if I would make it, but I did. I will tell my grandchildren."
