Real Sociedad – Celta Vigo: a duel at Anoeta that could turn LaLiga upside down

The football calendar in Spain at the start of 2026 brings one of the most intriguing clashes of LaLiga Matchday 21: Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo on 25 January at 18:00 at the Anoeta stadium, at Paseo de Anoeta 1 in San Sebastián. The 2025/2026 season has entered a decisive phase, and this match weaves together two stories – the hosts seeking an escape from the danger zone in the lower part of the table and the visitors targeting European spots after a revival in recent seasons. While Real Sociedad search for stability after a turbulent period and changes on the bench, Celta Vigo arrive as a team with a clear identity, bold play, and young leaders who have already proven themselves against the biggest Spanish clubs. All of this creates the setting for a match in which every duel on the pitch will carry weight, and the atmosphere in Anoeta’s stands will be an additional factor – supporters are already thinking ahead about how to secure their tickets, because tickets for this event have every prerequisite to be in very high demand, especially as the match is played in a popular weekend evening slot. Anyone who wants to be part of this football chapter live should plan ticket purchases and the trip to the Basque Country in good time.

LaLiga standings and what Matchday 21 brings

Matchday 21 of LaLiga finds Real Sociedad in the lower part of the table, around sixteenth place, with a modest number of wins and a negative goal difference that clearly reflects how the 2025/2026 season has so far fallen below expectations in San Sebastián. For a club that in recent years has grown used to flirting with European positions and regularly competing in Europe, such a placement means that every home match turns into a kind of small final – especially against opponents like Celta Vigo, who arrive from the upper half of the table. Celta currently hold a spot around seventh place and are once again being mentioned as a serious candidate for European competitions, which further increases the weight of every point and every detail in match preparation. LaLiga as a whole this season is recording an average of more than two and a half goals per match, so an open, dynamic duel is rightly expected – a magnet for fans who appreciate attacking football. That is precisely why ticket sales for this clash gain an extra dimension: it is not just an ordinary Matchday 21 game, but a showdown that can significantly shape the rest of the season for both clubs and that draws home supporters, away fans, and neutral observers eager for top-level football.

Anoeta – a modern football theatre in the heart of the Basque Country

Anoeta Stadium, today also known by its commercial name Reale Arena, is one of the most striking football stadiums in Spain, with a capacity of approximately 40,000 spectators and a fully football-focused atmosphere after a реконstruction that removed the athletics track and brought the stands closer to the pitch. Located in a sports complex in San Sebastián, at Paseo de Anoeta 1, the stadium has been Real Sociedad’s home since 1993 and a symbol of the city, but also of the entire province of Gipuzkoa. The arena’s current look is the result of a modernization completed in 2019, thanks to which fans are now practically “on the pitch,” and the stands’ acoustics create strong pressure on visiting teams. The complex also includes supporting facilities – from changing rooms and a press center to areas dedicated to the club’s history, including bust memorials of coaches who defined Real Sociedad’s golden era. For supporters planning to attend, it is important to know that the stadium is well connected by public transport and that the area around Anoeta on matchday turns into a sea of blue-and-white shirts. This combination of architecture, fan passion, and modern amenities is precisely why tickets for Real Sociedad matches are often hit by heavy demand, and for the duel with Celta Vigo a particularly increased interest is expected. Those who want to combine the football experience with a stay in the city should, together with tickets, also consider accommodation near the venue, because San Sebastián offers a wide range of options from hotels to apartments near the stadium and the city center.

The hosts’ form: from derby ecstasy to a fight for a calmer zone

Real Sociedad have gone through a true emotional pendulum this season: from matches in which they showed they can go toe-to-toe with the strongest, to periods in which a run of poor results dropped the team into the lower half of the table. One of the strongest moments of the season was certainly the dramatic 3:2 victory in the Basque derby against Athletic Bilbao, secured in stoppage time by a goal from the young Jon Gorrotxategi, in a match marked by rain, comebacks, and rivalries nurtured for decades. That game mattered not only for the points, but also for its symbolism – more than twenty players on the pitch were born in the Basque Country, and Anoeta’s stands boiled over like rarely before, showing how much local identity still lives in this club. It is precisely such nights that Real Sociedad want to reproduce against Celta Vigo, because it has been shown that when the stands “swallow” the opponent with noise, the team plays with greater intensity and courage. Still, continuity is lacking: throughout the season good performances have alternated with disappointing defeats, so fans understand all too well that every next home round can be decisive. That is why interest in tickets grows as the match date approaches, and those who want to grab a seat in the stands must reckon that tickets for this duel will quickly find their way to the most loyal supporters and football lovers.

Real Sociedad’s key assets: Oyarzabal, Kubo, and a strengthened creative line

Despite issues with result consistency, Real Sociedad in the 2025/2026 season have an exceptionally interesting attacking and midfield arsenal, starting with captain Mikel Oyarzabal, who remains the club’s symbol and one of the most important players in attack. In league appearances this season he has already registered several goals and assists, confirming that he can take responsibility even when the team does not look convincing. Alongside him, Japan’s Takefusa Kubo continues to offer technique and speed on the right side, with contributions in the form of goals and key passes, while Ander Barrenetxea and Gonçalo Guedes bring width, depth, and the ability to decide matches with an individual move. The midfield, meanwhile, relies on a combination of workhorses and creators: players such as Brais Méndez, Beñat Turrientes, or Carlos Soler carry a large part of build-up and transitions, along with the duty to protect the back line and open space for fast wingers. Coach Sergio Francisco, who took over the team this season with a clear task of stabilization, is trying to align the traditional Basque reliance on the academy with the modern demands of high-intensity football. All of this makes Real Sociedad a team that, despite their position, still offers enough reasons for the stands to fill – fans buying tickets for this duel know that on Anoeta’s turf they can see players capable of memorable moments, especially when they are pulled forward by the energy of the home crowd.

Celta Vigo: a project that combines young talent and the fight for Europe

On the other side comes Celta Vigo, a club that in recent seasons experienced a renaissance under coach Claudio Giráldez, the man who took over the team in its greatest crisis and transformed it into a side described as one of the most entertaining to watch in LaLiga. Instead of defensive caution and calculations, Celta today play boldly, with high pressing and trust in young players, which has brought not only survival but also a leap toward the top half of the table and the fight for European places. The symbol of this new face of the club are players like Williot Swedberg, a young Swedish midfielder and winger who has developed into one of the team’s leaders, as well as a whole array of talent from their own academy and smart reinforcements. This season Celta have already shown they are not afraid of the big ones – a 2:0 away win at Real Madrid in Madrid, with a brilliant performance from Swedberg, sent a clear message that Vigo no longer settles for a relegation battle. On the other hand, the dramatic match in which they led Barcelona 3:1 with a Borja Iglesias hat-trick, yet still lost 4:3, highlighted certain weaknesses in the defensive phase, but also confirmed that they are able to create chances even against the strongest. For Real Sociedad supporters this means that every slip in defense will be punished mercilessly, so it is expected that Anoeta’s stands will be filled with fans who, by their presence, will try to overpower the visitors’ momentum – another reason why tickets for this event will be extremely desirable. Anyone who, along with match tickets, wants to experience the city can in parallel also explore accommodation for fans on matchday and plan an entire football-tourism weekend.

Celta’s attacking machine: Aspas, Borja Iglesias, Swedberg, and the new generation

Celta Vigo’s attack in the 2025/2026 season looks like a blend of experience and bold, youthful enthusiasm. Iago Aspas, a club legend and still one of the best creators and finishers in the league, despite his age maintains a high level and this season has already reached an impressive number of goals and assists. Alongside him, Borja Iglesias, with his goals and physical presence in the box, remains a constant threat to opposing center-backs, which was also seen in the mentioned goal-fest against Barcelona. The young Williot Swedberg, with several key goals in LaLiga and Europe, confirms that he is ready to take a larger share of the burden on his shoulders, and alongside them there are also fast wingers like Bryan Zaragoza and the intelligent movement of Ferran Jutglà, who can open space where at first glance there is none. Statistically, Celta score at different periods of the match, but they are especially dangerous in the closing stages of halves and matches, when defensive fatigue and squad depth turn into goals. For Real Sociedad’s defense this means concentration must not drop for a single minute, because even a minimal mistake in playing the ball out from the back line can turn into a big chance for the visitors. Fans thinking about buying tickets for this match can therefore justifiably expect a game with plenty of chances and potentially a high number of goals, and the fact that Celta play boldly away from home further increases the appeal of the tickets.

Head-to-head: a tradition of goals and the importance of the home factor

The history of league meetings between Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo shows how often this duel is unpredictable and rich in goals. In around fifty LaLiga matches played so far between these two clubs, Real Sociedad hold a slight advantage in the overall win ratio, while Celta have enough triumphs to make it clear that this is not a one-sided dominance. In a significant percentage of those matches, at least two goals were scored, and in almost half, more than two and a half goals, which suggests that spectators at Anoeta can once again expect an open game with plenty of action in both penalty areas. It is especially interesting that Real Sociedad traditionally take more points from this duel at home than in meetings in Vigo, which underscores the importance of the home atmosphere and support from the stands. Celta, however, in recent seasons have won more often away at big clubs than before, so they no longer come to the Basque Country in the role of an “underdog” who retreats into defense. For fans who will follow the match live, this means tension will last all 90 minutes, with no safe prediction of how the game will unfold. Precisely this mix of history, statistics, and uncertainty makes tickets for this duel carry special weight – those who secure them in time, by purchasing tickets via the button below, will witness a new chapter of this interesting rivalry.

Tactical battles and possible lineups: where the match could be decided

From a tactical standpoint, Real Sociedad are expected to remain faithful to a system with one holding midfielder and four in the offensive midfield line, most often in a 4-1-4-1 shape. This means goalkeeper Álex Remiro will have in front of him a defense usually composed of Jon Aramburu and Aihen Muñoz on the flanks and a Duje Ćaleta-Car – Aritz Elustondo or Igor Zubeldía pairing at the heart of defense, depending on fitness and rotations. In midfield, one of the key tasks will fall precisely to Zubeldía or Herrera as the defensive anchor, while Brais Méndez, Carlos Soler, Pablo Marín, and wingers like Kubo and Barrenetxea will try to break the lines between Celta’s midfield and defense. Up front, Oyarzabal is expected in the role of a forward who can both drop to receive and attack space behind the center-backs, with the possibility that the tall Umar Sadiq offers a different profile if the match demands it. Celta, on the other hand, usually build their game in a formation close to 4-3-3, with goalkeeper Andrei Radu behind a combination of experienced center-backs Carl Starfelt and Javi Rodríguez and full-backs like Óscar Mingueza or Marcos Alonso. In the middle, Ilaix Moriba stands out as the engine of pressing and transitions, while the company is provided by Fran Beltrán, Hugo Sotelo, or Miguel Román, depending on the match plan. In attack, Real Sociedad fans will have to pay special attention to the trio of Iago Aspas, Borja Iglesias, and one of the fast wide players such as Bryan Zaragoza or Swedberg, because their ability to change pace quickly can punish any misplaced pass in midfield. It is clear that the duels on the flanks and control of the midfield will determine how much Real Sociedad manage to capitalize on home ground and crowd support, and tickets for this duel are a gain for everyone who likes to watch a tactical battle, not just goals.

San Sebastián: football, the sea, and pintxos as the perfect matchday setting

The match between Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo does not take place in a vacuum, but in one of the most beautiful cities on the Spanish coast – San Sebastián, a Basque Country jewel known for the beaches of La Concha, Ondarreta, and Zurriola, as well as for a gastronomic scene that combines traditional pintxos and top restaurants with Michelin stars. On big match days the city turns into a perfect stage for fans who want to combine football and travel: a morning walk along La Concha, an afternoon tour of the old town (Parte Vieja) with a string of pintxo bars, then heading toward Anoeta before kickoff. In recent years San Sebastián has increasingly been mentioned for new rules that preserve quality of life, from regulating smoking and noise on beaches to care for sustainable tourism, making the city even more attractive to those looking for more than a classic fan adventure. For away fans of Celta Vigo, as well as neutral lovers of Spanish football, this is an opportunity to plan an entire weekend: from arrival, through tasting local cuisine and visiting viewpoints on Monte Urgull or Monte Igueldo, to the day’s grand finale under Anoeta’s floodlights. To make everything work without stress, it is advisable, along with buying tickets, to reserve accommodation offers in the host city in time, because weekends with attractive matches are usually periods of heightened demand for rooms and apartments. Whoever catches everything in time – both tickets and accommodation – will get the full package: football, the sea, gastronomy, and a special Basque atmosphere.

Getting to Anoeta, the atmosphere, and a call to buy tickets

Preparing for the Real Sociedad – Celta Vigo match is not limited only to tactical analyses, but also to practical details of getting to the stadium, which are crucial for fans planning to be part of the spectacle live. Anoeta is excellently connected by public transport, with a metro station and bus lines linking the stadium with the center of San Sebastián and nearby neighborhoods, so many fans choose to arrive without a car to avoid traffic jams and parking restrictions. The advice is to arrive at least an hour and a half before kickoff, so you can pass security checks in time, find your seat in the stands, and soak up part of the pre-match atmosphere outside the entrances, where supporters gather with songs, scarves, and the first analyses of possible lineups. Ahead of the Matchday 21 duel, a strong turnout of Real Sociedad fans is expected, as well as a contingent of away sympathizers from Galicia, so the stands will likely be split between Basque blue-and-white and Celta’s light blue. Precisely this mix of colors and emotions creates an atmosphere that is hard to convey through a TV broadcast, which is why ticket sales for matches like these are continuously in the focus of LaLiga lovers. If you want to personally feel what Anoeta sounds like when Real Sociedad go for vital points, secure your tickets for this duel as soon as possible and buy tickets via the button below, with the option to, in the same plan, also check accommodation for fans on matchday. In that way the entire experience – from the first step onto the beach to the referee’s final whistle – becomes a whole that is remembered for years.
