Ancelotti: "We are in the final again and we will keep going"

In the second leg of the Spanish King's Cup semi-final, Real Madrid narrowly defeated Real Sociedad with a total score of 5-4 and successfully advanced to the final.

In the first leg, Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 away. However, in the second leg, Real Sociedad tied the aggregate score in the injury time, forcing the game to extra time. Thanks to Antonio Rudiger's winning goal in extra time, Real Madrid won the semi-final.

At the press conference after the game, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti talked about the team's performance and said: "This was a wonderful game with many goals, many mistakes, but also many wonderful moments."

"We achieved our goal, reaching the final again. We kept going because we didn't have time to think too much and we got the job done. Of course, conceding four goals was not good, but to score four was a great performance."

"Our game lacked balance, but our attack was very efficient. After all, it is not easy to score four goals against Real Sociedad. Now we have reached the final and need to focus on the next game."

When the game entered overtime, Ancelotti replaced four starters and let four substitutes play, but Rudiger was one of the substitutes. Ancelotti gave high praise to both the starters and substitutes who persisted until overtime, saying: "We did a good job."

"We brought in fresh players and they played their part. Those who started and played played until the end. Bellingham, Vinicius and Rodrygo were fantastic in their physical confrontations. We had more energy than Real Sociedad at the end of extra time."
