Real Sociedad Faces Europa League Champion Aston Villa in Pre-Season Friendly

Real Sociedad will play their second pre-season friendly match in England tonight at 8:30 PM against Aston Villa, managed by former Real Sociedad player Unai Emery. Aston Villa recently won the Europa League, a competition many Real Sociedad fans dream of winning. Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo is expected to rotate his squad, with goalkeeper Álex Remiro likely to start after not playing in the previous friendly against Wolverhampton. Key players Take Kubo and Luka Sucic are unlikely to feature due to limited training sessions. The match serves as preparation for the upcoming LaLiga season, with Matarazzo still evaluating his squad composition, mixing first-team and Sanse (reserve) players. Real Sociedad will also face Toulouse and Cologne in subsequent friendlies.
