Key points

  • Real have failed to score in three of six games so far, already exceeding the two blanks in 26 matches last season under Matarazzo
  • Key attacking players Kubo, Guedes and Oyarzabal have yet to find the net this season
  • Matarazzo's side must balance defensive improvement with restoring attacking spark ahead of Europa League opener against Bournemouth

AI summary

Real Sociedad's attacking problems are mounting faster than last season. After blanks against Atlético Madrid and Celta, they have now failed to score in three of their opening six matches—already surpassing the two goalless games they managed across the entire 2025–26 campaign under Pellegrino Matarazzo.

The issue extends beyond a tough fixture list. Key attacking talents including Take Kubo, Gonçalo Guedes and Mikel Oyarzabal have all misfired so far, struggling to replicate their usual form. While defensive solidity was a stated priority after last season's leaky record, Matarazzo must now find equilibrium to avoid compounding the problem ahead of Thursday's Europa League debut against Bournemouth.
