SS Lazio vs Real Sociedad Tickets

These two sides are sure to put on an evenly matched display, with both teams floating near the top end of their respective Serie A and La Liga tables for the past few years, albeit without mounting genuine title pushes.

Both teams have, in the relatively distant past, won domestic titles, which means they have both made a mark in top European competitions and this clash is sure to be well attended, so if you want to get your seat for this match, check out what’s available here at SeatPick, and pick up a bargain.

Lazio won the Italian title for the first time back in 1974 but missed out on competing in the European Cup due to crowd trouble in an earlier UEFA game; that meant they only made their debut in the competition in 1999/2000, once the tournament had been rebranded as the UEFA Champions League.

On that occasion, with Sven-Goran Eriksson at the helm, Lazio did well to reach the Quarter-Finals after finishing top of both group stages that they encountered. They then took on a strong Valencia side and were beaten 5-3 on aggregate.

They’ve never reached further in the competition, and their 2020/21 Round of 16 match with Bayern Munich, a 6-2 loss, was up to 2023, the only time they’d played another knockout match in the competition.

Real Sociedad have won La Liga twice, with those successes coming in the most successful period in the history of Txuri-Urdin. Back-to-back titles in 1980/81 and 1981/82 meant they got to enjoy the European Cup for the first time.

Their first campaign ended in the First Round, but in 1982/83, they battled all the way to the Semi-Finals, where they lost to Hamburger SV 3-2 on aggregate. They returned to the competition in the UEFA Champions League era for the first time in 2003/04 when they reached the Round of 16, losing to Lyon.

Ten years later, they were felled at the group stage, losing five and drawing one of their six games against Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen, and Shakhtar Donetsk. 2023/24 represents Real Sociedad’s third effort in the UEFA Champions League.
