Real Madrid host Real Sociedad in the return of LaLiga after the last two-week FIFA break, which brought the recently started season to a full stop. Los Blancos are still undefeated since the 2023-24 season officially kicked off and are on a four-game winning streak.
Still, it’s fair to say that Real Sociedad are the toughest opponent Real Madrid have faced, so it will be interesting to see how they perform tonight without key players like Courtois, Militao and Vinicius Junior.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti announced that veteran midfielders Luka Modric and Toni Kroos would be getting more minutes in upcoming weeks, although the Italian coach could wait until Los Blancos host Union Berlin in the Champions Legaue opener next Wednesday to give them both a chance to feature in the starting XI together.
Madrid have what it takes to beat Real Sociedad but they will also need to be very careful with their wingers.
