Sergio Gómez celebrates 100th game with Real Sociedad at Mestalla

Sergio Gómez marked a special milestone with Real Sociedad: at Mestalla he played his 100th match for the txuri-urdin club, and did it with a win before the international break, as Mundo Deportivo reports. The Catalan full-back celebrated with the squad photo and, back in the dressing room, with his usual post-match message on social media. “100 matches, family photo and a victory…. UNBEATABLE!”, he wrote.

Full starts this season

Mundo Deportivo underlines that, in this opening stretch of the league, Sergio Gómez has been the only player to achieve full starts across the eight matches played so far. He’s also the one with the most minutes (almost 700), ahead of Aramburu and with sizeable gaps compared to Turrientes, Guedes or Kubo. The piece highlights that, despite playing so many games in just a month, he has not been on the bench in any of them.

The article also frames the consistency behind the record: since his move in the summer of 2024 from Manchester City, he’s been a key option for Imanol and then for Matarazzo, earning the label of “indispensable and untouchable”. In his first season he was called up for every match despite the extra load of Europe and the Copa. Last campaign he missed only two games: one through a straight red suspension (vs Getafe, after the Copa final series) and another due to acute gastroenteritis on the same day as the Celta match.

The historical figure

With these 100 games reached in just over two seasons and around a month into his third, Sergio Gómez ranks 152nd in Real Sociedad’s all-time list and is ninth among the current squad. Mundo Deportivo adds a striking detail: he is the player who needed the fewest days to go from his first appearance to No. 100 in the club’s history.

Now comes a break before returning to aim to start again in the next league match, with the outlet suggesting he will be in the starting XI unless something changes.
