Real Madrid will continue their groundbreaking performance in the league as they resume action this afternoon against Real Sociedad at the Anoeta Stadium. Softfootball understands that Coach Xabi Alonso has another test to crack based on what he has started building at his former club.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad’s coach, Francisco, will be hoping to be dropped off balance, seeing that he’s yet to win a game so far this season, having recorded two draws in his last three games.
Xabi Alonso, having won the Coach of the Month award for August with Real Madrid’s unbeaten run, will seek to maintain the high tempo this month as his team returns from the international break. In the last 10 meetings, Real Madrid has a proven track record of always defeating Real Sociedad, and maybe Saturday’s clash won’t be any different.
Real Madrid doesn’t look fussy with the absence of players like Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy, Endrick and Rudiger. Bellingham, who has returned to training from his shoulder surgery, was dropped for Sociedad’s clash as Coach Alonso stuck to his regular squad.
But as Softfootball had earlier reported its preview, Coach Xabi Alonso is sticking to the suggested line-up as Kylian Mbappe leads the attack for the Galacticos.
Here is Real Madrid’s lineup as released on their official X handle:
Mbappé will also be bringing his goal-scoring euphoria from the international break with France to the party as he plays against Real Sociedad this afternoon.
By the way, Real Sociedad’s side, led by Mikel Oyarzabal, will be parading the likes of Pablo Marin and Ander Barrenetxea, who have registered just a goal so far this season.
Here is Real Sociedad’s lineup as released on their official X handle:
Real Madrid presently leads the La Liga table with nine points, while Real Sociedad, who are in the 16th position, has two points.
