Beitia's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers

In 2026/27, Luken Beitia saw limited action for Real Sociedad in the La Liga: 3 appearances and 270 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 816th of 905 defenders and inside the top 90%.

Per 90 minutes that is 1.3 tackles per 90, 1.0 interceptions per 90 and 60% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Beitia's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Beitia sits in the top 56% for assists but only the top 94% for tackling volume.

Set against Beitia's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 450 minutes against 2654 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 6.45 to 6.29 since 2025/26. Our records cover 3 seasons of Beitia's career, 2024/25 to 2026/27, all of it at Real Sociedad. In that time he has played 8 matches across 3 competitions, 556 minutes in all.

His best season on our records was 2024/25, when he averaged 6.90 across 2 appearances. Treat these rates carefully. At 270 minutes — roughly 3 full matches — Beitia is 630 short of our 900-minute qualifying floor, so he does not appear on the ranking boards: on a sample this size two good afternoons move a per-90 number further than a month of steady form.

How these scores are built, and the minutes and rating floors a player must clear to appear on our boards, are set out in our methodology.
