A Real Madrid full of substitutes knew how to withstand the attacks of Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena, won 0-1 thanks to a great goal from the Turkish pearl Arda Güler and confirmed that the league title is dyed in white.
Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, opted for massive rotations in his lineup thinking about next Tuesday’s Champions League duel in Munich and his team’s second unit achieved another victory.
The match began with a vibrant rhythm and the home team showed more drive in the first minutes. That effort resulted in the first dangerous chance of the match after the 15th minute thanks to great driving by Ander Barrenetxea, who was able to filter a good ball to Takefusa Kubo, but the Japanese could not score against an imperial Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The Txuri Urdin team remained firm in the offensive phase, showing an unprecedented ease in recent days and approaching the Madrid area with great danger.
Oyarzabal, after a tunnel to Eder Militao, drove the ball superbly to assist Beñat Turrientes, who did not think twice when it came to setting up his leg and adjusting a shot that narrowly missed the merengue squad.
But Real Madrid adapts to any match record and its punch is lethal. He showed it in the 29th minute. Dani Carvajal came in like a dagger from the right wing and sent a low pass to the opposite side that Arda Güler, with great quality, converted to make it 0-1.
La Real, who wanted to recover as soon as possible from the blow, scored in the next attack through Kubo, but the goal was annulled due to a previous foul by Barrenetxea on Aurélien Tchouaméni reviewed in the VAR.
The San Sebastian team tried until the end of the first half, but Imanol Alguacil’s players could not find the equalizer before heading into the locker room tunnel.
The meeting resumed with a Real who wanted to take the lead. After 30 seconds, Turrientes was able to connect with a split ball from the edge of the area, but Kepa deflected it into a corner with a great save.
Real Sociedad managed Real Sociedad’s dominance well in the second half and barely had any problems. In fact, it was not until the 73rd minute when the locals approached Kepa’s goal with real danger.
Imanol Alguacil’s men did not stop in their attempt to equalize the contest. Oyarzabal appeared again, this time after a filtered pass from Kubo, and the Txuri Urdin captain’s diving shot went wide thanks to the quick retreat of the recently introduced Antonio Rüdiger.
The local team insisted with a shot from outside the area by Sheraldo Becker that went over the white crossbar. He insists that he did not find the prize from him, since there was no time for more.
Real Madrid further expands its lead in the League, with 14 points ahead of Barcelona while waiting for it to play, while Real Sociedad remains in sixth place, although with Betis and Valencia on the prowl.
