Jankauskas, luxury visit to Anoeta

Former Real Sociedad striker Jankauskas visited Anoeta as a guest during the Lyon match, receiving a commemorative shirt from club representative Xabi Prieto.

Edgaras Jankauskas, the former Real Sociedad forward, made a nostalgic return to Anoeta as a special guest during the club's match against Lyon. The 51-year-old Lithuanian was welcomed by the club and presented with a shirt bearing the number 22 he wore during his time at Real.

Jankauskas spent the 1999–2000 and 2000–2001 seasons at Real Sociedad after arriving from Brugge for just over €2 million. During his spell, he scored 19 goals in 56 appearances and was part of the squad that reached the Copa del Rey final. He left in January 2002 for Benfica on loan before joining Porto permanently for a similar fee. His departure coincided with the arrival of Nihat and the return of Darko Kovacevic.

Now 51 and recently departed from his role as Lithuania's national team manager, Jankauskas returned to the club where he made his mark in Spanish football two decades ago.
