San Sebastian outfit Real Sociedad finished the 2015/16 season in 9th place after parting company with former Manchester United manager David Moyes.
Moyes departed the Basque club in November 2015 after a poor start to their La Liga campaign.
Former Barcelona midfielder Eusebio Sacristan was quickly appointed Head Coach and guided the aptly nicknamed the "Royals" away from a relegation battle.
In April 2016, they beat the mighty Barcelona with 18-year-old Mikel Oyarzabal heading the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory at the Anoeta Stadium.
This is the first ever encounter between the two sides. Should be a good challenge? (TEC).
