Sergio Gómez reached the 100-game mark in official matches with Real Sociedad during the team’s recent victory at Mestalla. The Catalan player celebrated this milestone with a crucial win before the break, emphasizing the importance of the team’s result over his individual achievement. “Reaching 100 games with a club is something very special, and celebrating it with a win before the break was very important. Hopefully there will be many more to come—and, above all, many more victories,” the player said.
He settled into life in San Sebastián immediately upon his arrival in the summer of 2024. Gómez emphasizes the instant connection he forged with the coaching staff, his teammates, and the club’s staff—an environment he describes as his “second family,” something he is especially grateful for while being far from home.
Looking back on his 100th match, the Catalan player cites the Copa del Rey final as the highlight of his time with the Txuriurdin. He acknowledges that playing in a final is a wonderful experience, but having lifted the trophy with Real Sociedad makes that match the most valuable and special memory of these 100 games, as he reflects on the journey and the ups and downs he overcame to achieve glory.
On the tactical front, Gómez has clearly evolved to establish himself on the left flank. After a first season under Imanol Alguacil in which he rotated between midfield, winger, and defender positions, his time under Sergio Francisco has definitively cemented him as a left back. The player says he feels completely comfortable and settled in this position, where the support of his teammates and the team’s style of play have been essential to boosting his performance and allowing him to enjoy his current role.
