Real Sociedad vs Atlético: Decisive Clash in LaLiga
This Saturday, Real Sociedad faces Atlético de Madrid, who, although seemingly relaxed in LaLiga, always present a challenge. The txuri-urdin are looking to secure their sixth consecutive European spot, but they have not managed to beat Atlético at their home since the 2012-13 season.
Imanol Alguacil has called up 24 players for this crucial match, the first of four decisive games. The team travels with the notable absences of Becker, Oskarsson, and Zakharyan, but celebrates the return of Zubeldia and Odriozola.
Zubeldia returns after overcoming an injury, although his starting position is not guaranteed due to Jon Martín’s good form. Imanol could opt for rotations, considering the upcoming match against Celta, a direct rival in the fight for Europe. A possible starting eleven would include Remiro in goal; Aramburu, Jon Martín, Aguerd, and Javi López in defense; Zubimendi, Sucic, and Brais Méndez in midfield; and Kubo, Oyarzabal, and Barrenetxea in attack, with Oyarzabal as the reference. An unmissable match for the Colchoneros!
