Espanyol - Real Sociedad

Match date: 23/05-21:00

RCD Espanyol

Espanyol arrive relieved after securing their stay with a 1-2 win at El Sadar, a hard-earned victory with goals from Carlos Romero and Kike García that left the team at 45 points and with survival confirmed before the last matchday. There is still a remote chance to fight for the Conference, but the main context is relief and a farewell to their fans.

In fantasy terms, important absences: Pol Lozano is suspended, Javi Puado remains injured, and Ngonge appears doubtful/out due to knee problems. Pol’s absence forces Manolo González to adjust the midfield, with Pickel or Terrats as alternatives, while there is also some uncertainty at the back alongside Cabrera.

The basis points to continuity with Dmitrovic in goal, Omar and Carlos Romero at full-back, Cabrera as a fixed presence at the back, Urko in midfield, and up front Dolan, Pere Milla, Edu Expósito, and Kike García as key names. The match will also be emotional, with players like Calero, Romero, or Ngonge facing farewell or end-of-stage scenarios.

Real Sociedad

The last matchday for a Real Sociedad that no longer has anything at stake in La Liga. The cup won by Matarazzo saved the season and restored hope to the txuri urdin environment, although since that title the team has clearly gone downhill in results and feelings.

The German coach did what he had to do. He took a very irregular Real and ended up lifting a historic title, something that allows some margin to understand this final drop amid the emotional hangover and the lack of objectives.

At Cornellà awaits an Espanyol that is already safe, while Real will try to close the season with a more recognizable image and say goodbye with better feelings before summer. It is possible that Matarazzo decides to give some players who have not had many minutes this season some playing time.
