Real Sociedad Vs Real Madrid Match Preview 

According to Marca, Xabi Alonso is ready for an emotional comeback to the Anoeta Stadium tomorrow, Saturday—but this time, as the head coach of Real Madrid. Three years have passed since he left Real Sociedad, where he spent several seasons shaping the reserve team.

Back then, the idea was to see him promoted to the first team, but Imanol Alguacil’s golden run  kept that door closed. Alonso instead chose a new adventure with Bayer Leverkusen 🇩🇪, where he shocked Europe and earned his ticket back to the Bernabéu.

In 2019, Alonso took charge of Sociedad B, while Imanol started his own journey with the first team. The latter delivered glory—Copa del Rey 🏆, European nights under the lights—securing his place as the club’s man. Meanwhile, Alonso made history by leading Sociedad B to the Segunda División after 60 years ⏳👏.

His farewell was filled with emotion 💔, ending with the words: “See you soon”… and indeed, destiny brought him back.

Now, Alonso returns to Anoeta with Los Blancos at his back ⚔️. For the fans of Gipuzkoa 🙌, it’s a bittersweet night—they once dreamed of seeing him on their bench, but tomorrow, he’ll be leading the mighty Madridistas 🔥🤍.
