Match10 Oct 2026

The wait goes on for Real Sociedad

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Nahuel Tenaglia says Real Sociedad went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Igor Zubeldia in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Real Sociedad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Aitor Fraga is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Nobody could get near Luka Sučić

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A long bet from Real Sociedad on Diego Aguilar

He is 16, and nobody at Real Sociedad signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market24 Aug 2026

Federico Gattoni is a Real Sociedad player

The fee is $5.4M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Sevilla drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A move Federico Gattoni would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Federico Gattoni is living that version at Real Sociedad, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Real Sociedad

Igor Zubeldia was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match22 Aug 2026

Real Sociedad get the job done against Elche

A 2‑1 win over Elche, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Luka Sučić

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

One of those days for Ander Barrenetxea

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.47, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Takefusa Kubo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

One of those days for Luka Sučić

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.22, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Real Sociedad pick somebody else ahead of Aitor Fraga

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Yangel Herrera in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Real Sociedad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jon Aramburu signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jon Aramburu and Real Sociedad agree another 4 years.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Igor Zubeldia falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
