In the 19th round of La Liga, the 400 million real sociedad team once again broke out! They scored first and were forced to draw 1-1 by their opponents. After the winless match, Real Sociedad's ranking was also surpassed by Barca behind them, while they were already 16 points behind the top real Madrid. It can be said that the goal of threatening to compete with Real Madrid for the title at the beginning of the season is simply a joke now.
This round of the match against Alaves, for Real Sociedad, was originally the best opportunity to get out of the slump. After all, they had already suffered 4 consecutive defeats + five rounds without a win before this game! The movement of the game also seems to be tilting towards them. Just 14 minutes into the game, Real Sociedad scored, midfielder Potu sent a precise straight, and Januzai scored the ball and cleverly completed the goal. However, in the ensuing games, Real Sociedad did not seize the opportunity to continue widening the points gap.
In the 58th minute of the second half, Real Sociedad finally suffered a blow. They made mistakes in the backline and eventually fouled their opponents with a penalty. Joselu stood at the penalty spot and scored steadily. As the score became 1-1, Alaves began to shrink the defensive line in its entirety, not giving Real Sociedad any chance. In the end, they also managed to keep the score 1-1 until the end of the game.
After the upset of this game, Real Sociedad has not won 6 rounds, trailing real Madrid at the top of the table by as many as 16 points, it can be said that the championship has long been hopeless. At the same time, due to the consecutive winless records, Real Sociedad's ranking has also been declining, and has now been surpassed by Barca by 2 places. It can be said that the current Real Sociedad team is simply 18,000 miles away from the team that seized Real Madrid at the beginning of the season and was regarded as a real Madrid title rival.
If they continue to be so depressed, this season, let alone the top four, I am afraid it will be very difficult to stabilize in the top six. So why did Real Sociedad suddenly collapse? This may have a lot to do with injuries, and the top scorer in the front line, Oyasaval, has missed many games in a row, which has also brought a huge blow to their front.
