I did notice that there seemed to be a lot of greenery...!
Good to hear Sociedad picking up again. Definitely overachieved to make the CL! Remember Canales getting a lot of hype when he moved to Madrid, so it'll be interesting to see how he does.
His breakthrough season for Santander he was unplayable mate, he literally carried the team, they finished 6th, and it was pretty much due to Canales.
Since then, 2 relegations, and refusal to play last night, another club about to go pop, sad to see.
Always liked Sociedad, one of them teams that has a bit of a natural buzz about them, went through some **** times like, but back now, play great stuff and some superb players, many of them developed from their youth system, which is always good to see.
They were one of the last sides outside the big 3 to win La Liga as well, admittedly a long time ago now! They did overachieve last season, but are generally very good this time out, although Bilbao have a more complete side and i'll be shocked if they don't make 4th this season.
Bilbao's midfield is incredible,considering the 'Basque only' rule, and the new stadium has kicked them on financially as well.
