However, this fame is unevenly distributed as some competitions, continents and countries happened to be more popular probably due to their commitment, investment and enthusiasm in the sport. This also apply to teams.

One of the teams of high calibre in the Spanish topflight is the San Sebastian based team which was founded in September 1909. Though not many will consider them a top team has their reign was short and happened long ago.

The Sociedad de Futbol as it was formerly called, started when students and workers who were returning from Britain introduced football to San Sebastian. Real sociedad as it is known today have become one of the leading team in the top flight Spanish league where they maintained topflight participation for forty years between the years of 1967 to 2007.

The club have won the Spanish LaLiga twice, becoming the champions consecutively in the years 1981 and 1982 and also attaining the runner-up position in the year 2003. The Anoeta club were also  crowned champions of the Spanish Copa Del Rey twice in the years 1909 and 1987.

The Anoeta stadium based team's name was later changed to Donostia Club de Futbol in 1931 with the advent of the Second Spanish Republic, but changed back to Real Sociedad after the Spanish Civil War in 1939. 

The elite football club's affairs is currently being paddled by Jokin Apperibay, the president, with Imanol Alguacil been the coach. The Mikel Oyarzabal captained side have enjoy a good start to the ongoing season, losing just 14 from the achievable 45 points in all competitions this season.

Real sociedad remain at the top of the league after winning more than 75% of their matches so far winning four matches at their Reale arena which has a capacity of 39,500. However, all arms are at akimbo as we anticipate the team's next fixture against Deportivo Alaves away from home on Sunday 6th December 2020.

The result of the match will be a crucial in Socieded maintaining their spot at the top, at least until Atletico Madrid play their match in hand.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United falled to a sixth defeat in seven games as Nottingham Forest sealed a 3-1 comeback win in the Saint James' Park, adding to their Champions League and Carabao Cup elimination in December while they continue to drop down the Premier League table. Credits to the Englishman, however, he is not in an elite level. A project like Newcastle United's is in a stage where you say thank you very much to Eddie Howe, a bid him farewell. It was a miracle, what the former AFC Bournemouth boss has done in his just more than two years at the helm of affairs in Tyneside and after the club failed to make the statement upon their UEFA Champions League qualification, the time couldn't be more right. Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United when the club was deep down the bottom of the Premier League standing and helped them become the first-ever to avoid relegation having not won a single game up until Gameweek 14 in the competition's history.

Erik Ten Hag has opted for a different approach compared to previous managers of United in recent times, whom had all gone for players of different status. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Odion Ighalo, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wout Weghorst are strikers the club has signed post Sir Alex Ferguson era, all of whom arrived at the club in their 30s. With Hojlund, United are looking to sign someone who just turned 20, though still has a lot more to learn to master the trade but at the same time, he has got the potentials to become one of the best around.
