Celta – Real Sociedad, live broadcast
Confirmed compositions:

Real society: Remiro; Aramburu, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Tierney; Becker, Zubimendi, Merino, Brace Mendez; Oyarzabal and Andre Silva.
Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad are vying to become the first semi-finalists in the Copa del Rey, and the face currently belongs to Real Sociedad.
It’s only been a minute since Mikel Oyarzabal gives Donostiarras the lead. He did it with a precise header and no resistance from Mikel Merino’s cross.
That wasn’t the only time: in the 22nd minute, Villar had to take her glove out to prevent Merino from scoring on the volley. Half an hour later, Merino tried again, but her shot went high.
In addition to the chances, Real Sociedad also controlled the game against Celta Vigo, which did not bother Remiro’s goal.
The bad news for the Churri-urdin was an injury to Tierney, who in the 38th minute, feeling muscle discomfort, was forced to leave the field, his place was taken by Elustondo.
Already in the second half, Celta seemed to take a step forward. By crossing into the opponent’s field, he forces Real to defend.

Seventy-two hours after the Real Sociedad Liga match in Balaidos. Celta wants revenge in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, the most exciting competition in Celticism, is preparing a massive reception to galvanize a team that barely had time to respond to Cyclone San Sebastian last Saturday. Follow him live on La 1 and RTVE Play.
Imanol Alguacil’s team returned Celta to its sad reality. The Celestials have much more to offer to return to the Cup semi-finals, but above all to avoid relegation to the second division in their centenary season. This is the biggest concern of the board chaired by Marian Mourinho, which, after the departure of Luis Campos, was handed over to Rafa Benitez, who recruited two of his old acquaintances, the Brazilian Jailson and defender Javier Manquillo, for his mission.
Celta’s second team in the Cup was a victory over Valencia at Mestalla. Now he faces another big challenge: will Benitez repeat himself with less common options or take risks with Aspas and company.
Balaidos, a place of pleasant realistic memories
Real Sociedad are a team that have been very happy in Balaidos in recent years for various reasons, including being in an extreme situation in the 2017 Europa League. The Churi Urdin team is approaching this match with high morale after two consecutive away wins: Sadar in the Cup and precisely Balaidos, although in the League. Imanol Alguacil’s men will have to repeat the weekend’s victory if they want to be close to another cup final.
Of course, this task will not be easy at all, and now Aichen Muñoz has been added to the staff, already depleted by losses. A man from Echauri had to immediately ask for a change because he felt something was wrong with his left knee. After examinations carried out in San Sebastian, a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament was confirmed, which was another setback for realistic coach who was left alone with Kieran Tierney at left backin addition to left center John Pacheco as a patch.
