Real Sociedad are set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on March 5.
Imanol Alguacil’s side lost 2-0 in their round of 16 first leg in Paris last month, but confidence is high about their chances of getting back on track. The Basque side would need a three-goal win to overturn the first leg and reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time.
Alguacil’s side lost 3-2 last weekend at Sevilla in La Liga and their chances of a top four finish in 2024 continue to dwindle.
5 players at rest
On the other hand, his decision to line up a turning eleven in Andalusia indicates that he intends to prepare for the arrival of PSG. According to the latest information from Marca, the five stars left on the bench against Sevilla, including captain Mikel Oyarzabal, are not suffering from any injuries.
Oyarzabal will lead Real’s attack alongside returning Takefusa Kubo, with Mikel Merino returning to midfield, and Robin Le Normand and Hamari Traore in defence.
