Real Madrid has a problem and it's called David Silva. The Spaniard already eliminated them from the quarters of the Champions League, a competition that is dear to the Madrid side. He will face off against them again, this time with Real Sociedad.
Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil, confirmed at a press conference that the player forms part of his plans for the match up. The most likely outcome is that he will start in the match and could be the player to make all the difference for Real Sociedad.
Under Pep Guardiola, he studied how to stop Madrid, and not much has changed in their lineup since their last encounter. His advice to his current manager and his experience in the Champions League will be the most useful tools for Real Sociedad.
He didn't appear in City's first match against Real Madrid but came in off the bench to play an important role in City's win over Madrid in the second leg. Has he learned enough to be able to put a stop to Real Madrid one more time?
