Real Sociedad’s Cup celebrations dominate Monday’s roundup, from a huge reception for the players to Pellegrino Matarazzo addressing fans in Basque with “Txapeldunak gara!”. According to Diario Vasco, the club’s festivities set the tone across Gipuzkoa.
Referee-cam audio revealed fresh touchline exchanges, including Mikel Oyarzabal asking to be substituted and a firm message to Diego Simeone. Isabel Díaz Ayuso responded to claims of a snub involving Oyarzabal, challenging the narrative around the incident.
Viral moments multiplied, with two supporters briefly startled when Matarazzo approached them, and a message at the party insisting Gonçalo Guedes was not drunk. A father and son’s embrace after the win swept social media, even shared by Álex Remiro.
Beyond football, a new speed radar will monitor the Maltzaga viaduct in Eibar between the AP-1 and AP-8. Basque public hospitals widely observed the first day without peonadas.
Matarazzo was later spotted quietly resuming routine in a San Sebastián café, as if nothing had happened. Unai Marrero’s cuadrilla, still in disbelief after being with him in Sevilla, plan to celebrate in Azpeitia. Separately, a Guardia Civil seeks 137,000 euros over his “destierro a Gipuzkoa” after a complaint was archived eight years later.
