Beaten by Osasuna (1-0), the Basque club has just played a fourth match without scoring a single goal. And his infirmary is always full before facing PSG in the Champions League.

How is Real Sociedad doing before facing Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League? Not very well, obviously. After stringing together three 0-0s, two in La Liga and one in the Copa del Rey, the Basque club lost this Saturday in the derby against Osasuna (0-1). A goal from Ante Budimir sealed the fate of this meeting at the start of the second half (49th).

Everything is not to be thrown away in this meeting of Real Sociedad, which generally dominated the debates, with 68% ball possession, and 21 shots. But like the number of shots on target (only 3), Imanol Alguacil’s men are currently displaying a cruel lack of efficiency. This is in fact their fourth game in a row without scoring a single goal.

Two more injured!

To make matters worse, Real Sociedad has to deal with a significant number of injuries. Carlos Fernandez, Kieran Tierney and Aihen Munoz are seriously injured. Aritz Elustondo, Sheraldo Becker, Alvaro Odriozola and especially Mikel Oyarzabal were also missing from this meeting, and there is no guarantee that these four players will be restored for the trip to the Parc des Princes next Wednesday. We can add Take Kubo and Martin Zubimendi, two key players, who were affected against Osasuna.

“These are big shots, but they are only blows, I hope that both will be available for Paris, said Alguacil about the two injuries of the day. Oyarzabal? I can’t tell you, he went out for a run today but he didn’t feel good. If he can make the trip, he will, given everything he can bring us. »
