A happy Monday to you all here. Check it is love. I'm Christina Alexander, usually Hercules Gomez in studio to make it business casual, but today so business. And we also welcome in our Casey Keller is going to be hanging out with us all. I was going to say all week case, but you're probably counting down to that Seahawks game. I asked you right before coming on there so you're happy today. go hawks go hawks that's that that's the only statement we need to know right all right uh coming up we will talk about a different kind of statement josh sargent's a future with norwich city very much up in the air and we will also break down peppy's possible move there to the premier league with the big looming question is that move to fulham still on but before maybe there
There was a question as to how Pellegrino Matarazzo was going to do with Real Sociedad. Well, he had the statement on Sunday against Fútbol Club Barcelona, the team that is in first place at the moment in La Liga. So we're going to give you a little recap as to how that win went to win the final score.
That's going to count. Puts his full might behind it to give Real Sociedad the lead. They've made their changes, but no, Garcia keeps it up. There's Barcelona, they're under pressure. Oh, what a turnaround. It's taken them a minute to restore the lead. They can celebrate a famous victory for Real Sociedad.
And speaking of statements, Pellegrino Matarazzo is the first to defeat a first place team in the second half of the season. That's why I said quite the statement at this point in the season against this Barcelona. Jesse Marsh also beat a first place team against Stuttgart and David Wagner as well against Leipzig. Matarazzo spoke with our Sid Lowe.
Rino, you started the night walking into the stadium with a guard of honour from the drummers, from the Tamburrada, an extraordinary atmosphere, and then it ends with a victory over Barcelona. It's been quite a good night.
A very special night, very special night. I think this moment in time where we're in a good moment, play against Barcelona is also in a very good form. We have one of the most important days of the year for San Sebastian coming up with a tamburada on Tuesday. It was a little magic in the atmosphere. We felt it. We connected very well to each other and also to the fans. The stadium was incredible today. And we pulled through. What a night, what a result. I'm really proud of the boys.
So you pulled through. How did you pull through? What was the key to coming away with a victory tonight?
I don't know how much depth I should go into, but surely we had to withstand several chances, a lot of opportunities from Barcelona. We defended with a lot of heart, we played with a lot of heart. Our reaction after the 1-1 was fantastic. We conceded the 1-1, we immediately go to goal, have a chance for the 3-1. to defend even with one man less with everything we've got. So I think that was super important. And against teams like Barcelona and where we're at right now, it's important to have a little bit of luck on your side like we did today and an excellent goalkeeper. Alex played a fantastic match, so I think all in all a bit lucky, but because of the heart we showed today, also in a way deserved.
That heart that you're talking about it feels like it's something that runs through all of the performances since you've been here and all of them have been slightly different it feels to me from the outside at least in terms of the adaptability a different approach to the Atletico game as there was to the Getafe game where it felt like you knew that you had to kind of adapt to how Getafe play the response to going behind in the Copa del Rey and then tonight there's a commonality but there's also a variety.
Yes, of course, because every match is different, every match has its own key. We have our way of playing football, which is clear, but there's a certain variability to it. It's important to be pragmatic and have solutions in every scenario and whatever we need to win the game.
