A Basque derby is and always will be a Basque derby. But the first half of 2023 will go down in history for being one of the best in terms of atmosphere, both in the run-up and during the match, but above all for registering the best entry in the entire history of Real Sociedad at home: 38,342 viewers . Or what an absolutely full house. With this figure, the previous record of 37,066 was vastly surpassed, also from a derby, specifically last year.
The party started very early with various activities organized by the club around the Anoeta stadium, it started to shine with concerts a few hours after the meeting and the usual display of revenge colors and smoke canisters at the Plaza Armories , and ended up exploding inside the Royal Society’s stately home. The Aitor Zabaleta stand was full half an hour before the first whistle, as were the visitors with 600 Athletic fans. The game, the great goals and the early appearance of Oyarzabal did the rest. Historic day for the San Sebastian club.
