Latest football commentary on Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad
Atletico Madrid are in a relatively safe position as the season enters its final stages, currently ranked 3rd in La Liga and 10 points ahead of 6th-placed Real Betis. That means a place in the 2025-26 Champions League is almost within their grasp.
However, Diego Simeone's side failed to win any silverware this season, falling short in the La Liga title race and also failing in both the Champions League and Copa del Rey. The club is now planning a busy summer transfer window.
Atletico will be aiming to get back to winning ways after a disappointing 0-0 draw against Alaves last time out. They are looking for a third successive home win.
This season, the capital team continues to maintain stable performance at home, winning 40 points after 17 matches. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad – the upcoming opponent – only earned 19 points from 17 away matches.
Atletico beat Sociedad 2-1 at the Wanda Metropolitano last season. However, the first leg this season between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw.
Real Sociedad have had a disappointing season, currently 11th. However, they still have a chance to qualify for the European Cup, being only 1 point behind Rayo Vallecano (8th – Conference League play-off spot) and 3 points behind Celta Vigo (7th – Europa League spot).
Imanol Alguacil's side drew 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao in the Basque derby, but have not won a La Liga game since the start of April and have picked up just two points from their last four games.
Sociedad’s final three games are challenging as they face Celta Vigo, Real Madrid and Girona – all of whom are still motivated to compete. If they don’t improve their form, they could fall to their lowest position since 2018-19.
Coach Alguacil is expected to leave the club after this season, ending a period of stability in Sociedad's recent history.
