Squad2 Nov 2026

The knee: Oihan Ramírez out for 34 days

34 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Real Sociedad lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Mamadou Sarr goes up and wins it — 7.34

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.34 for the rest of it.

Market2 Nov 2026

Ander Barrenetxea raises the bar for Real Sociedad

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Real Sociedad heard it as anything else.

Match31 Oct 2026

Carlos Soler the difference as Real Sociedad beat Levante

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Carlos Soler. 3‑1 against Levante, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Álex Remiro

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The terraces2 Nov 2026

Real Sociedad supporters have found a favourite in Mamadou Sarr

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Mamadou Sarr has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Carlos Soler was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.30. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Sergio Gómez was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.24. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Mikel Oyarzábal was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.01. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad5 Oct 2026

13 saves: Álex Remiro was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 13 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match3 Oct 2026

A hiding for Real Sociedad

Beaten 0‑4 by Real Madrid, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad5 Oct 2026

The step up is real for Héctor Fort

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Real Sociedad

Mikel Oyarzábal and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market5 Oct 2026

Carlos Soler wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Real Sociedad hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Jon Aramburu

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad5 Oct 2026

International break empties Real Sociedad

6 call-ups is a compliment to the squad and a headache for the man running it. He will get them back in a fortnight, tired, in various states of repair.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Nobody left the Real Sociedad dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Jaime Flores faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Jaime Flores after 0‑4, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market7 Sep 2026

Takefusa Kubo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Real Sociedad, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Getafe tell Real Sociedad: Abdelkabir Abqar is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Real Sociedad close the window on a squad of their own making

14 in and 3 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Arkaitz Mariezkurrena slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Arkaitz Mariezkurrena is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Jon Martín makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Álex Remiro loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Álex Remiro. Real Sociedad will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A promotion for Jon Aramburu

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Jon Aramburu has moved up it.

Looking ahead7 Sep 2026

Yangel Herrera faces his old club

Girona next, and one man in the Real Sociedad dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market7 Sep 2026

The market said no: Sergio Gómez stays put

Real Sociedad opened the door and nobody walked through it. So Sergio Gómez stays — listed, trained, and available — while both sides mark the days to January on the same calendar.
