The jackpot is to beat Dynamo kyiv tonight

The historic victory against Ajax Amsterdam cannot fall on deaf ears. Because there is no point in making a splash by beating a European champion and getting fully into the fight to enter directly into the round of 16 of the Europa League, avoiding that playoff tie, if you do not then continue it against the Dynamo kyiv. A team that has lost everything so far in European competition this season. With all the reservations in the world, and without intending to offend anyone, it is one of those opportunities that rarely come your way in Europe. The context invites us to continue winning at the Reale Arena and prolong the dream (follow the game live on As.com).

Because he doesn't want the Ukrainian team to become poisoned candy, which is what usually happens in these cases. You take it for granted that you have it sucked, and then it turns out that nothing was sealed. Imanol Alguacil has already been in charge of giving his squad the strength ahead of a match that definitively marks what Real Sociedad's objective will be in the little that remains of this first phase of the Europa League. If they beat Dynamo kyiv, they will remain in the fight for the jackpot in the round of 16. If he tied it would be extremely complicated for him. But if they lose, they will have to be content with fighting for the playoff in the two remaining days of this league phase. The equation is easy to understand, it has no mystery.

The mystery is going to be which Shovkovski team Real is going to find. The one from Europe or the one from the Ukrainian league? Because in European competition they have lost every game, they have conceded twelve goals (more than two per game) and they have only scored one (the last matchday against the Victoria Pilsen). But in his league he is sweeping and already on matchday 16 he is the leader with solvency ahead of a whole team. Shakhtar Donetsk. That is the reality of the kyiv team, logically affected in its performance by the war in its country. It can't be easy, that's for sure. And everyone's respect for their situation has to come first. It is difficult to know which version will be shown in Anoeta, but Real will do well to pay more attention to what is in the league than in Europe, because otherwise they may start losing before even playing.

The positive thing, beyond the fact that the rival is bottom without having added a single point, is that the match comes to Real Sociedad surely in its best moment of the season. They have four consecutive victories without conceding a single goal. And finally she is showing herself to be safe and reliable at home, being in the position of being able to add her fourth consecutive victory at the Reale Arena. He cannot stop now that he has the jackpot of this first phase of the Europa League in his hand. The San Sebastián team has now risen from its terrible start to the season, and its differential players are beginning to be differential players in truth and not just in words. There is the growth of Sucic, Aguerd and Sergio Gómez between the signings, and that of Kubo, Oyarzabal and Brais Méndez among those who were already on the squad. Furthermore, Imanol recovers Turrientes and Oskarssonmore wood. And the Leganés headdresses (Aihen Muñoz, Sergio and Zubimendi) are in good condition. It takes everyone, including the fans, to continue fighting for the jackpot. It's not going to be that beating an entire Ajax is of no use.
