The international break has given Real Sociedad a chance to regroup, to rest, to start learning the methods of new coach Imanol Alguacil and... to swim with sharks.

Asier Illarramendi and Jon Bautista both took part in a promotional event at the local aquarium where they swam in a tank alongside some sharks and with over 7,000 fish."It was a really nice experience to scuba dive with those big sharks and these fish," Illarramendi explained afterwards.The club later shared a video of their experience through their official media channels.
