Real Sociedad defeated in the derby

One month before facing PSG in the Champions League, Real Sociedad lost on the pitch in Bilbao this Saturday.

Future opponent of Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League round of 16, the Real Sociedad is having a hard time launching its 2024 year. After a draw at home against Alaves in the league and a short qualification in the Copa del Rey against Malaga (2nd division), Imanol Alguacil’s men lost in the Basque derby on the lawn of theAthletic Bilbao this Saturday.

Bilbao impresses

Thanks to a double from Alex Berenguer in the first period, Bilbao won 2-1 after Oyarzabal’s late score reduction and achieved a good operation in the standings. After overtaking Atlético Madrid last week, Ernesto Valverde’s players temporarily took 3rd place at the expense of FC Barcelona. For their part, the Sociedad players see the Champions League moving away since they could be 11 points behind 4th place at the end of this 20th day.
