It's not just a final; it's the eternal duel dressed in a cup. Seville, a city of bullfighters and poets, hosts a modern rite: Real Madrid and Barça measuring their legends under the Andalusian sky. The stands will be divided between white and blue, where more than 70,000 people are expected. When Vinícius or Lewandowski scores, the Guadalquivir will stop flowing for a second. Because in this city, where the impossible becomes art, football will write another chapter.
"In the bars of La Alfalfa, the shouts drown out even the sound of tapas. Some wearing inherited Raúl shirts, others wearing Messi's (still unwashed since 2011). There will be chants, hugs from strangers, and even a man who swore that "if Madrid wins, I'll eat this hat." But at this great celebration of Spanish sport, everyone will share tortilla and beer... but the arguments will continue until the next final. That's Seville: here, even hatred tastes like salmorejo."
Some of those present will hear this verse on the streets of Seville and emotion will burst from their senses:
"White and blue, blood and sweat,
Seville saw them dance without a net.
The ball was a flash of lightning,
and the cup... just an excuse
to start over."
And Seville is magical, just like La Cartuja stadium, which will host the 121st edition of this Copa del Rey Final between two great fan bases.
From THE SUN PLACES, we would like to thank all the clients who have booked a luxury apartment in Seville and we hope that it will be a sporting and social success. We Sevillians will have to wait another year for a final between Real Betis Balompié and Sevilla FC
