The 2014-15 campaign was a turbulent and transitional season for Real Sociedad, who ultimately secured a 12th-place finish in La Liga after a mid-season managerial change that saw David Moyes replace Jagoba Arrasate. Leading the attack was the talismanic Carlos Vela, whose 9 league goals, including a brilliant run that earned him the La Liga Player of the Month for November, proved vital despite a mid-season knee injury. The campaign will be fondly remembered for stunning home victories against both Real Madrid and Barcelona at the Anoeta Stadium, which provided moments of pure nostalgia for the urdinak faithful. However, an early European exit and the summer departure of star Antoine Griezmann meant the club struggled to find lasting consistency.
