SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv can look forward to Round 2 action from the 2022-23 La Liga, with matches scheduled to run from Friday 19 to Monday 22 August 2022.
DStv and GOtv are the only true home of football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action that no other rival can match – it’s literally ‘Unbeatable Football’! If you’re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.
SuperSport is the only place where you can get English commentary on the legendary La Liga, where the headline fixture this weekend is the meeting of Real Sociedad and Barcelona at Estadio Anoeta on the evening of Sunday 21 August.
While Barca are very much one of the contenders for the title this season, especially after their work in the transfer market, La Real are hoping to take the step up and impose themselves in the upper regions of the log – something they didn’t quite manage under Imanol Alguacil last term.
“We must look to take the next step, which is to sustain ourselves in a strong position throughout the season,” explained Alguacil. “It will not be easy and I expect that we will suffer at times, but this is the challenge we have set ourselves.
Champions Real Madrid will be in action on Saturday night when they visit Celta Vigo at Estadio Balaidos. Los Blancos believe they are well set for a defence of their title in 2022-23, but manager Carlo Ancelotti has already sounded a warning against complacency.
“We cannot afford to underestimate any of our opponents,” explained the Italian tactician. “We have a team of great experience and moments. Yet this does not guarantee anything. We will have to find the same fighting spirit we had last season if we want to taste success again.”
Another crunch clash in this round of La Liga action sees Atletico Madrid welcome Villarreal to Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. The Rojiblancos are hoping to get back to a place where they can challenge for major honours – something manager Diego Simeone is determined to achieve this term.
“We must look to improve and repay the faith shown in us by our supporters and the club,” said the Argentine. “We must play in the Atletico way and make sure that we do not allow our rivals to gain an advantage on us.”
