He real Madrid He is already touching the League title with the tips of his fingers after taking the victory in their visit to Real Sociedad (0-1). A solitary goal from Arda Güler, who enjoyed her first start in a domestic competition, gave the whites victory in a clash in which Ancelotti’s men They once again stood out in the defensive aspect.
A real downpour greeted Real Madrid in Anoeta, on the day in which the Txuri-Urdin entity paid tribute to the legend David Silva, received by a hall made up of Imanol Alguacil’s eleven and Ancelotti’s revolutionary line-up, which introduced a unprecedented team already thinking about the semifinals of Champions against Bayern—only Modric and Tchouaméni repeated after the Classic.
So much newness in their eleven cost the whites sweat and suffering, who took a while to find their game in a rather rough start, in which only Real offered football and scoring chances… but without success. Kubo was very close to enforcing the ‘law of the ex’but he failed to finish off a very dangerous cross from Barrenetxea and Kepa cleared his low shot after a counter from San Sebastian.
Madrid, meanwhile, suffocated by a pressing Real Sociedad which did not allow him to link three passes in a row or generate real danger, he clung to the defensive phase. His bet did not go wrong, as he always found the key to prevent the ball from touching the net defended by Arrizabalaga.
In this context, the former seemed closer to Real than Madrid, but in football we already know. Tchouaméni saw the right lane empty and Carvajal pointing the way. For him he put it with a long delivery that the right back left first at the penalty spot. The ball was passed through the San Sebastian area, without anyone managing to clear it, and Arda Güler appeared there to score under Remiro’s legs.
After three minutes the Txuri-Urdin team tied the score – through Kubo, who collected the score after Oyarzabal’s attempt – after a ball was stolen on the balcony of the Madrid area. But The VAR notified Munuera Montero that Barrenetxea had fouled Tchouaméni when recovering the ball and the referee, after seeing the play on the monitor, rectified his decision. The light didn’t move anymore and the game went to half-time with the score 0-1.
With the impetus that only a coach’s talk in the locker room can give, Real Sociedad went out in search of a tie. He had it on the first chance of the second half after a bad Merengue clearance, with a volley shot by Turrientes that Kepa had to send for a corner.
From there, the San Sebastian team, which saw how Another goal was disallowed for offside, went out against a Madrid that had already found the fluidity with the ball that had been difficult for them to have in the first half. But Alguacil’s team did not give up: Becker warned with a long shot and Oyarzabal did magic to score it over Arrizabalaga, but the ball hit Rüdiger and went wide.
The passing of the minutes settled the whites and blurred the txuri-urdin, who ended up suffering against a fresh VinÃcius who had waited his turn on the bench. The Brazilian was close to becoming an assistant with a cross for Lucas, but the rival defense managed to clear it before the ball reached the Galician. Camavinga then had it, completely alone from the penalty spot, but Remiro guessed the direction of the shot and rejected the ball.
And there was no time for more. The real Madrid He took a close victory that tastes like his thirty-sixth Leaguealthough he will still have to wait to sing the praise, at least, until after his first battle against Bayern Munich.
