Real Sociedad’s journey to the Copa del Rey final has been soundtracked by an unexpected viral sensation: a terrace chant adapted from Bad Bunny’s hit “Café con ron” that celebrates Icelandic striker Orri Oskarsson. What began as a spontaneous fan creation has evolved into a full-blown phenomenon, driving merchandise sales and uniting the Anoeta faithful ahead of Saturday’s showdown with Atletico Madrid at La Cartuja in Seville.
The chant’s origins trace back to Oskarsson’s goal against Alaves in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, when supporters first sang “Por la mañana café, por la tarde ron, llévame a Sevilla, Orri Oskarsson” in Mendizorroza. The lyrics, a direct riff on Bad Bunny’s “Café con ron,” quickly spread through social media and were embraced by the club as an unofficial cup anthem.
According to verified reports, the chant gained momentum after Oskarsson scored again against Elche in LaLiga and reached its peak during the semi-final second leg against Athletic Club. Following Real Sociedad’s 1-0 aggregate victory, Oskarsson took the microphone at Anoeta to lead the crowd in the chant alongside the “Aitor Zabaleta” animation section, a moment widely shared online.
The club has since capitalized on the trend, releasing official merchandise featuring the adapted lyrics. A best-selling shirt displays the phrase “Por la mañana café, por la tarde ron… Llévame a Sevilla, Orri Oskarsson,” though it contains a noted orthographic quirk: an accent on the ‘o’ in “ron,” which is not standard Spanish.
Despite this, the Oskarsson shirt has become one of the most popular items in Real Sociedad’s Copa del Rey merchandise line, even surpassing shirts featuring club captain Mikel Oyarzabal. Oyarzabal’s shirt bears the Basque phrase “Eta nik Reala nuen maite” (“And I loved the Real”), referencing the traditional song “Txoria Txori” by Mikel Laboa.
Another top seller is a basic shirt with the slogan “Poliki poliki aurrera beti” (“Little by little always forward”), a nod to head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo’s occasional use of Basque phrases equivalent to the Spanish “partido a partido.” Matarazzo, an American-born coach, has drawn attention for integrating Euskera into his public communications.
Real Sociedad has also unveiled special items for the final, including a non-sale golden-engraved shirt reserved for players, and scarves bearing the club’s official final motto: “Guazen REALA!” The phrase combines “Goazen” (Let’s move) and “gu” (we) with the Basque form of the club’s name, “Reala.” Scarves featuring the slogan include the date, venue, and opponent — Atletico Madrid.
The most sought-after item, however, has been the “txuri-urdin” flag displaying “Guazen REALA!” which has sold out completely alongside adult home kits. Fans across Gipuzkoa have flown the blue-and-white flags from balconies, echoing a similar display from five years ago when Real Sociedad last won the Copa del Rey at La Cartuja — a pandemic-era victory over Athletic Club played behind closed doors.
As of Friday, April 17, 2026, the club confirms that the final will capture place on Saturday, April 18, at the Estadio Olímpico de La Cartuja in Seville. Kickoff is scheduled for 22:00 local time (20:00 UTC). Real Sociedad will face Atletico Madrid in pursuit of their first Copa del Rey title since 2020.
The Oskarsson chant remains a fixture in pre-match warm-ups and fan gatherings, with no indication of fading popularity. Whether it will echo from the Sevilla stands on match night remains to be seen, but for now, it stands as a rare example of a fan-created tune becoming embedded in a club’s identity — inspired by a global reggaeton star, shaped by Basque passion, and fueled by a striker’s late-season resurgence.
