I think Real Sociedad also knows that they really need this win and maybe they will also maximize their next match in the Champions League without having to tire their players. Their current position is not very safe after not getting good results in the last few matches so they have to win again against Villarreal. The previous victory against Mallorca was a special motivation for the players and they will not hesitate to make Villarreal submit at home.
If Real Sociedad realizes this match is important, they will play better. In fact, Real Sociedad only won the ball possessions and made many shot attempts but they scored 0 goals. Villareal even could play better, they are leading with 2 goals now although they only have a very little chance to score goals. They made 3 shot on target, they succeed scored 2 goals.
With this defeat, Real Sociedad isn't safe in the top 5 of La Liga table. Real Betis has a chance to overtake them now.
Well, I don't see a chance that Real Sociedad can finish this season in UCL zone. I think the realistic target is to finish at the top 5 of the table.
Update:
Current score Real Sociedad 1 vs 2 Villareal
Playing in fukin home and still lost, what the heck was wrong with this shit? The final result was 3-1 villarela win. It must be a shame for sociedad caused by it keeps continue to get another bad result. These points were obviously helping sociedad to climbing up even higher. Im feeling that sociedad may not able to stay at the top till the end of season.
The chance owned by sociedad to get into the europa league spot is almost impossible caused by it has 9 points gap to the bilbao. The performance from real sociedad was so terrible in this game. The club was not even able creating accurate shots on target against villareal.
Sociedad has been making 7 goal attempts but it's still not able to score more than 1 goal against villareal. This must become another disappointed result for sociedad fans. No dougbt that if the performance from sociedad in the UCL is also very bad too.
This makes thing become even harder for the club caused by sociedad must be playing without good performance. I think that sociedad will be also out from UCL this season. This sociedad club is still having horrible performance to compete with other club in the various competitions.
It seems like that sociedad will not get any achievements this season. Another poor performance from the club. I wonder what players have done for about 24/7
