Real Sociedad 2026/27 La Liga Preview
Real Sociedad have been beaten three times in seven and sit eighth. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side have shipped 13 goals, including four at Real Madrid and three at home to Atlético Madrid, though they have also won 3-2 at Elche and 3-2 at Valencia in games that swung both ways.
Luka Sucic leads the scoring with three from the No.10 role and Ander Barrenetxea has two. Sergio Gómez has taken 22 corners from left-back and Carlos Soler 16 plus a converted penalty. Álex Remiro has 23 saves but only one clean sheet, which is the number that defines the season so far.
Tenth and 46 points last season was Real Sociedad’s worst return in some years, and the rebuild under Matarazzo is clearly ongoing. There is enough attacking talent here – Kubo, Barrenetxea, Sucic – to climb, but not while the back four keeps conceding at close to two a game.
