Real Sociedad made an effort to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. It’s worth noting that Arsen Zakharyan, who moved from Moscow’s “Dynamo,” is highly regarded. The team also includes many promising players who could become superstars in the future. However, their current results are not the best. They have managed to win only one out of five official matches. The 5-3 defeat to “Granada” especially highlighted the issues with their defense. The Spanish club is not a frequent guest in international competitions, especially in the Champions League. This lack of experience might be a disadvantage, particularly when facing a tough opponent in the very first round. The opponent has an exceptional attacking potential, and Imanol Alguacil’s team will have a tough task.
Inter reached the final of the Champions League last season and is certainly aiming for the title in the current campaign. Therefore, the players are determined to give their all right from the first match. They have also managed to reach incredible form, winning eight out of their last nine matches. Victories over “Fiorentina” (4-0) and “Milan” (5-1) clearly demonstrate the form of their attacking line. The Italian club is also strong defensively. Simone Inzaghi’s team is committed to putting maximum effort into keeping their opponents at bay. In their last four matches, they have left their goal untouched three times. Jan Sommer, in particular, has been outstanding in the last line of defense.
