SPANISH FOOTBALL - SOCCER has been traditionally dominanted by Real Madrid & FC Barcelona, but there has been seasons ( plenty ) were the two Club dominantion has been broken & the impact so outstanding that they stay burnt in the the memory of local  Football History.

Spanish Football Sports would like to dedicate a FLASHBACK post to season 1980 - 81 & remember the historical REAL SOCIEDAD team that won the Spanish Football League title in a dramatic & historical fashion in the very last second. 



Here is the run down to put things into context. Real Madrid & Real Sociedad had chances to win the League Title in the very last round. Real Madrid needed to win their last match at Valladolid, which they did 1 - 3, while Real Sociedad only needed a point ( a draw) for the title.

While Real Madrid waited at Valladolid after winning 1 - 3 their game, news via the radio gave the score at Sporting de Gijon 2 - 1 with Sociedad losing in the 90th min. The Real Madrid players thought they had won the Spanish League Title & celebrated at the Valladolid ground. But in extra-time at Gijon with the home side 2 -1 up, Real Sociedad player ZAMORA scored the equalizer ( 2 - 2 ) in the LAST SECOND, thus giving them the Spanish Title for the first time in the Clubs history. Real Madrid back at Valladolid celebrating could not believe it. Watch this must see VIDEO with the first part observing how Real Madrid win ( in blue) & later how Real Sociedad pull off the miracle:




Amazing, & Spanish Football history worthy of a Flashback.


Real Sociedad would again win the Spanish Football League Title season 1981 - 1982, making it back - to - back Liga titles & putting the Real Sociedad squad in the Olympus of Club memories eternally.
