The pairing of Real Sociedad and Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of the Champions League is worthy of evaluation of all kinds and tastes. Starting from the initial premise that the French team is almost unattainable for our team, one concludes that we have come this far this year, and from that we do not see our French rivals as an invincible opponent. Even those who explore far away.What is said to be the team’s weakness Luis Enrique.

In the center are those who acknowledge the difficulties of the conflict but believe in their ability to defeat the French army.

Obviously, and from a strictly sporting point of view, it is inconceivable that La Real would have done well with a draw. No one wanted PSG, but it’s true that everything attached to the French club resonates so much that it overshadows any rational analysis you might want to perform. But that does not prevent us from recognizing that the team from the French capital is showing weaknesses. ImanolOnce detected, it will try to exploit them in the best possible way.

On the other hand, the scope of uncertainty is further widened due to the temporal distance from the dual conflict. It’s anyone’s guess how both teams will reach the showdown date (February 14th for the first leg, March 5th for the return leg).

We also cannot ignore the fact that draws will be decided at Anoeta, and when the stadium is full, things take on a slightly different hue.

Finally, we will focus on an aspect that is unfortunately becoming increasingly important: the behavior of the fans, or the most radicalized sectors of them.

French clubs have a less-than-honorable history in this regard, with undoubtedly serious incidents occurring with dangerous frequency. La Real must realize that Paris will become a hostile territory and that security chiefs will have to do their best to avoid overreach.

Let’s find out who is the handsome man who brought down the Gironi team from the top!

not so great

‘Boy Wonder’ broke down in the saddle almost three weeks ago and Imanol had to do nothing. Barenetia Next 4 games. This was the exact moment when we were most enjoying the genius of this child who can devise impossible moves at the most unexpected moments. What we saw in his absence was not as “great” as the above.

Half-hearted but good

After the league’s final break, we asked: Imanol What made him satisfied with the remaining eight games until the end of 2023? The answer was “very good” Imanol” was “I want to win it all.” Unfortunately, if it were not for what happens tomorrow in Cadiz, that would not be possible as the team has three wins and four draws. It wasn’t what I wanted, but it wasn’t bad.
