REAL SOCIEDAD – AWAY SHIRT 2021/2022
Real Sociedad de Fútbol, commonly referred to as simply Real Sociedad, is a Spanish professional football club based in the city of San Sebastián in the Basque Country. Sociedad are a club with a rich history, having been a founding member of La Liga in 1929 and winning the competition in both 1980/1981 and 1981/1982.
La Real (The Royal) play their home matches in the 39,500 seater Anoeta Stadium. The club contest the Basque derby, against their fierce local rivals; fellow Basque Country and La Liga outfit Athletic Bilbao. The club’s youth academy is recognised as one of the best in all of Spain, having nurtured world class talents such as World Cup winners Xabi Alonso and Antoine Griezmann.
Sociedad wore this smart away shirt in the 2021/2022 season under the management of
Imanol Alguacil. In the League, they achieved a reasonably standard 6th placed finish for Sociedad. They reached the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, but then got demolished 4-0 at home by Real Betis. Betis went on to win the competition. In Europe, Sociedad made it to the knockout round play-offs, but lost to RB Leipzig 5-3 after two legs.
Their squad was a very interesting one. It included former Manchester United wonderkid Adnan Januzaj, Liverpool's Alexander Isak, Arsenal's Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi, and Manchester City legend David Silva!
