The Real Sociedad Project Keeps Improving
After an already great 2019-20 season, Real Sociedad execute the press-and-possess game plan of coach Imanol Alguacil even more effectively than before, and that has been reflected in their 2020/21 numbers and results. As the chart below shows, compared to last season they are accumulating more points, scoring more goals, creating higher quality shots, as well as conceding fewer goals, shots, and expected goals.
At the moment Real Sociedad have the 4th best attack and defense in La Liga with 41 goals scored and 20 conceded, which is backed up by the 2nd best expected goals created (40.9) and conceded (19.4). Despite the 0-4 thrashing they suffered recently at the hands of Manchester United, their defensive numbers are among the top in Europe.
