The history of Basque football is capricious and makes fans txuri urdin chestnuts
In soccer, numbers make history. And there is not more to talk. However, as each era is different, those who lose out globally seek other facets in which to show themselves superior. Now that all the data is analyzed, there is one that speaks highly of the quarry of the Real society and not so much of the Athletic.
If we look at history it is evident that there is no color: the Athletic it is the best club in the Basque Country. 8 Leagues, 24 King’s Cups and 3 Spanish Super Cups. For its part, Real society It has 2 Leagues, 3 Cups and 1 Super Cup. The athleticzale dominance is more than evident.
Today the Royal Society commands
However, we will all agree that Real Sociedad does things better today. It is better at a sporting level, both in boys and in girls, it has better the subsidiary and it even attracts the best Basque players, such as Mikel Merino.
And since the current moment is better at Real Sociedad, from Bilbao, logically, history is used. Now, yes, but… who has more titles? Athletic fans wonder to make it clear who’s boss. Perhaps that is why Real fans are looking for a loophole on which to base their idea. And they seem to have found it.
The Real Sociedad quarry portrays Lezama
It turns out that there is a historical fact that puts the Real Sociedad quarry above that of Athletic. Among the 5 players who have played the most games with the Athletic shirt we find 4 Guipuzkoans. Iribar, from Zarautz, Etxberria from Elgoibar, Andoni Iraola from Usurbil and Markel Susaeta from Eibar.
A figure that contrasts with the 5 players with the most games in the history of Real Sociedad: the five from Gipuzkoa. Bearing in mind that there are 90 clubs in Gipuzkoa and more than 200 in Bizkaia … it seems clear that the Athletic quarry is actually working on the market … on the other hand, the Real Sociedad quarry produces more and better.
