La Real defeated their opponents, who are expected to play a significant part in the competition for Champions League — or Europa League — spots in 2023.

Before Brais Mendez snuck in to tuck Mikel Merino’s chip home, former Real Sociedad keeper Geronimo Rulli almost gave David Silva the opening goal with an early gaffe.

In the second half, Villarreal did make a fight of the game as Alexander Sorloth squandered a golden opportunity at the opposite end and substitute Jose Luis Morales shot just wide of the post.

Both teams are currently engaged in midweek European competition, with Real Sociedad hosting Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League and Villarreal traveling to play Austria Wien in the Europa Conference League.

Martin Zubimendi, a standout for Real Sociedad, will decline a possible transfer. In San Sebastian, Barcelona will sign a contract renewal.

Following his ascent through the club’s junior ranks, Zubimendi has grown into one of the top defensive midfielders in La Liga with 106 appearances across all competitions for La Real.

La Blaugrana have expressed interest in him due to his remarkable play as Xavi seeks to make plans for Sergio Busquets’ long-term replacement at the Camp Nou.
