The leader liquidates Oscar

Real Sociedad is still in Bayern Munich mode, overwhelming every rival that is put in front of him without apparent effort. This is what happened in Balaídos. After the tough battle against Napoli three days ago, Imanol shook the eleven with five changes and the team behaved as if it were the gala. They were serious behind, holding an Aspas every day more desperate, and incisive in attack. Silva even scored with his head. Later Oyarzabal abused the celestial centrals to finish the duel before the break. Rubén almost worked a miracle on his return after four months injured, but the ball hit the post after his clearance and returned to the feet of the Donostiarra captain, who scored at pleasure against the passivity of the olívica defense.

The Celtic players walked with their heads down, heading down the dressing room tunnel at halftime. The blow was being very hard after such a convulsive week. As if this were not enough, Murillo gave away the third in the resumption. The Colombian, one of the members of the recent commission created by Oscar, signed his worst match since arriving in Vigo. Portu accepted the gift willingly and continued the chain to William José, in charge of sentencing at an empty door. Óscar was stirring in the box, he no longer knew how to sit or who to call to fix such a mess.

The 0-3 was an insurmountable slab for the Celts. But nevertheless, an inadvertent penalty committed by Le Normand to Brais caused Aspas to close the gap fifteen minutes from the end, thus putting some excitement to the meeting.

The alleged intrigue lasted just four minutes, the time it took Portu to repeat the action of the third goal. Again it slipped through the right side and again he was generous to William José. Double assists for the first, double goals for the second and everyone is happy in Donostia for the leadership of Real. Meanwhile, in Vigo everything is chaos. Oscar's future is up in the air and will be decided in the next few hours. The technician is touched and almost sunk.

Sheriff: “We are leaders on our own merits”

Imanol Alguacil, coach of Real Sociedad, highlighted the “great game” of his team against Celta de Vigo, in a performance in which, in his opinion, they were “enormous” in both areas.

“We had a great team in front of us, with a great coach, with players of terrible quality and the team has done an enormous job to win again with solvency. The entire squad is working phenomenally, everyone who plays is doing very well, and I'm very happy. We are leaders on our own merits“, commented the coach of the San Sebastian team.

He celebrated the notable presence of footballers trained in Zubieta in the first team, and described the performance of his team as a “great game”, which now faces “a new final” against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League.

“We finished with seven from the quarry, with the debut of Arambarri, and with many of them I was walking around the Second B fields not long ago. It is a joy that now we are so well in the First Division. Maybe the kids are tired of seeing my face, from so many training sessions together, but it is a joy that now we are living this now“he commented.
