Sometimes controlling the course of the match does not make the team win because the team that plays more effectively will win the match and Villarreal managed to prove that with only a few opportunities to control possession of the ball but were more effective in completing every opportunity that existed, but lost with a fairly crushing score from a team whose position is outside the top 10 is certainly very painful, especially since this is a home match for Real Sociedad.
This defeat will make it difficult for Real Sociedad to catch Athletic Bilbao who are in the top five because their point difference is 9.
Barcelona will face Getafe, in their last four meetings there has only been one goal scored, so there is a big chance that this match will end with few goals with the home team winning it but with a narrow score of 1-0, but Barcelona's defense which is quite weak might be broken through by Getafe so this will only be a match that ends in a 1-1 draw, and this is a meeting that again ends with few goals.
Real Sociedad were able to overcome the group stage hurdles and thereafter advancing to the last 16. Sorry to say but it'll only be in the widest of dreams that Sociedad will lift the UCL trophy this season. They're not so much of a good side neither are they a bad side. They've currently not just got what it takes to be the champions. There are still teams far better than them in all aspects, doing exceedingly well and even making extra efforts than Sociedad makes. Yes anything can happen in football but there are some fates that have been envisioned out. Maybe they'd scale through to the last 8 but the odds are very much minimal. This stage of the contest isn't a joke as all teams are in their best.
Well the first leg of the round of 16 games didn't really turn out well for them because they were the visitors and they were up against a tough French team who were far better than them in the pitch adding that they've got better UCL experiences than them too. Now they'll have to in the second league fight back the two goals that they're down with which they themselves know won't be so easy for them to. PSG aren't a team that'll fold their arms and watch how the hosts will defeat them by 2goals without making any move to net in a goal, adding that they're questing hard to be UCL champions too. I'd expect that with respect to their performances in the La Liga this season, they'll be able to stand their ground especially in this game where they'd be the host. Well, it'll be bad that their recent performances so far would be infectious to their morale in the second league but there's still a bit of time to cover up their loopholes and be very well prepared for the UCL encounter with PSG in March.
