Real Sociedad have made their long-awaited return to the Champions League after a decade. Under the guidance of Imanol Alguacil, La Real have improved themselves season upon season. How? By being patient, utilizing their incredible academy (Zubieta), and having continuity within the club. On top of that, smart recruitment to bolster their squad has played out perfectly. The most recent example would be Takefusa Kubo, though Premier League stars Martin Odegaard and Alexander Isak have also passed through the club of late.
Real Sociedad is a club for football purists who like to see how a club grows the NATURAL way, not with cash injections and millions spent on signings.

You forgot to mention the also helped Theo Hernandez
Adrian will curse them like he did with Celta Vigo 😭🤣
Congrats on the video and the interview. I really enjoy your videos about teams like this, makes me want to support them even more. I think in La Liga are teams really interesting to follow. Cheers.
AUPA ERREALA BETI ERRELA 🤍💙
txuri urdin txuri urdin maitea

donostia,donostiarra!
Hey Adrian as a native basque speaker I thought that your attempt at the names was pretty good! But there still were some mistakes I won’t blame you for. Barrene’s name has an etch in it.
I'm really struggling to get into La Liga, trying to pick a team. Loving these collabs to help educate me
Love these guys and Betis
Very happy for Kubo to show his class in an attacking team
For so long, it's felt inevitable that Real Sociedad would be up there with the rest in the UCL, they've finally done it. They won't be easy to face in LaLiga and neither in the UCL with that Spanish pedigree that bring Spanish clubs success in Europe
Adrian collaborating with the "Future Champs La Real" haha, congratulations man.
Adrian, when we getting the Reacting to your Prem predictions video…?
Future champs of la liga😊
i love this kind of videos, Celta and osasona and then this one,
thx for this content ❤️🫡
I just like this club because of Kubo.
¡Vamos Kubo!
Thanks Adrian for making this video. I'm Txuri Urdin and enjoyed this so much! Kubo & Silva duo is magical! Looking forward to going to a friendly La Real game in SF in August😀
I love the intro ❤
David Silva is so criminally underrated! imo he is better than modric.
Great video Adrian! Continuity is something you don't see much in the modern game of Football. Hopefully Real Sociedad does well in the next Champions League season
I have been following them for a few seasons and I slowly became basically a true fan of them love to find more about them
You are a great football journalist man
I think it would be a interesting video to see on the topic of Figo to real madrid and how that happened from hating real to playing for them
Carlos vela, what could've been. He made Me love this club. great video Adrian
Club sponsored videos is such a cool development! I love it man 🙂
Will you be doing a review of your predictions on european leagues? I remember you also showed us a website where we could make our predictions about the whole table but i can't remember the name now lol
Alex Remiro is a Bilbao graduate…stop lying
Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso both played for Sociedad's junior teams before Arteta joined La Masia and Xabi Alonso remained in San Sebastian.
Sounds all very similar to Freiburg, especially at 10:49. Nice, that those clubs are represened internationally. Would love to see such a documentary about them… or Heidenheim?!
Nice video. One of the best fútbol/soccer channels on the platform. Real sociedad has alerts been an interesting and special club. Especially during the vela and Griezmann days.
we won 2 Copa del Rey since the last league trophy. Those are major trophies
GOD BLESS IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN 🙏🙌✝️🕊️❤️!!!!!!!!
Sociedad's system is similar to Bilbao's. Props to the Basque region.
The Basques are simply put, amazing at football. Real's core is all homegrown players and Athletic's whole idea is to play with Basque players.
man what the hell? i want the Silva shirt, this suck. Africa gets no love.
Jeeez. All those 9 academy graduates would be good players for most clubs in europe.
The fact that in your contests only north americans can participate while the subject is a european club of the most followed sport in Europe is dumb AF.
🙏🏿💜
Im from the US and have no ties to spain or basque country whatsoever, im 21 now but when i first started learning about football at age 11, i was instantly intrigued with real sociedad, obviously through learning about real madrid and barcelona at first like everyone else, i started to watch la liga and i was captivated by everything about La Real, the crest, the basque language, and specifically their defender Mikel Gonzalez, since 2014 ive been a fan and have watched every game i can, and with the inclusion of streaming services i have not missed a single one of their games since espn added la liga onto their streaming app in 2021, i really identify with this club and their fanbase, even the basque people in general, i love this club with all my heart, i shed tears when Illaramendi played his last game and i am so proud to see them get back into the UCL, i will forever remain hopeful that WE WILL win La liga again one day, i was lucky to be the generation that saw them lift their first trophy in THREE decades and i know i will be the generation that sees them lift their third la liga🤍💙
