Real Sociedad stand a good chance of making it

Ordinarily, very little can be deduced from just three football matches but the start made by Eusebio Sacristán's Real Sociedad this season suggests they are geared up to push for Champions League football.

The additions of Adnan Januzaj, 22, and Real Madrid's Diego Llorente, 23, suggest the club are steadily building for the future, but having secured nine points out of a possible nine, defeating Celta Vigo and Villarreal respectively in the process, the squad looks well set up already.

In terms of style, the squad is top-heavy and far more suited to outscoring the opponent, which only emphasises the importance of Inigo Martinez at the back, who was reportedly subject of interest from Barcelona this summer.

Also linked with the Catalan outfit earlier this year, was manager Sacristán who pledged his loyalty to the club and who is too instrumental in the club's improved organisational sense at the back since the departure of David Moyes.

The club will need to pay attention to a weak goal difference of +6 last season, with the majority of defeats and victories settled by a single goal and a total of 53 goals conceded last term suggesting that a weak point could be finishing teams off.
