Season ends with a whimper
Real Sociedad closed the LaLiga campaign with a 1–1 draw at Espanyol, stretching the winless run to eight league matches. You finished 10th on 46 points, level with Espanyol, with a negative goal difference. The league table doesn't lie, inconsistency cost this team badly. (5) (6)
Elustondo says goodbye
Aritz Elustondo played his final minutes for the club. One of your own, a true txuri-urdin legend, now heads into the next chapter. The squad now begins their holidays after a grueling season. (2)
Óskarsson's bittersweet record
Orri Óskarsson scored for a third straight match and hit double figures for the season with 10 goals. But here's the maddening stat: Real Sociedad won only two of the games in which he scored. Goals going in, points not following. That pattern needs to break next season. (1)
Copa del Rey the shining light
The league form was poor but the cabinet isn't empty. A historic Copa del Rey title and European qualification give you something real to build on. Pellegrino Matarazzo knows the league must improve, he's already said as much. The cup triumph buys goodwill, but patience won't last forever. (5) (6)
Women's B team makes history
An incredible story from the women's setup: Real Sociedad Femenino B overturned a 4–1 first-leg deficit against Ona Sant Adriá and won on penalties to earn promotion to Primera Federación. First time the reserve women's side has reached that level. A comeback that deserves real recognition. (4)
