Real Madrid won a wide victory over its guest Real Sociedad (4-1) in the 27th round of the Spanish League, on Saturday evening.
Real Madrid came from behind with a goal to win, to raise its score to 63 points at the top of the Spanish league standings, and get a strong moral boost before facing Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the 16th round of the Champions League.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti did not change his usual method (4-3-3), as he pushed his basic elements, with the exception of Toni Kroos, who missed the match due to injury, to participate in Eduardo Camavinga instead.
On the other hand, Real Sociedad coach Emmanuel Alguacil relied on a 4-4-2 plan, which he did not play much this season, in an attempt to disrupt the keys to Real Madrid’s play, which are usually located on both sides of the field.
Real Madrid possessed the ball from the start of the match, but seemed distracted and unable to break through the solid defensive wall of Real Sociedad, one of whose attacks resulted in a penalty kick, after Dani Carvajal committed a foul on one of the visiting team players inside the area.
Real Sociedad managed to open the scoring in the tenth minute through a penalty kick by specialist Mikel Oirzabal, then their players retreated to block the ports in front of the royal team, with several counter-attacks to consume the energy of the hosts.
The French league standings… Real Madrid’s curse is chasing Saint Germain at the feet of Delors
Sociedad ably managed to limit Real Madrid’s strength on the periphery
thanks to the strong defensive performance of full-backs Igor Zubeldia and Andoni Gurosabel, as well as the support they received from midfielders Urzabal and Josepa Zaldoa.
It seemed that the Sociedad players knew the correct way to stop Vinicius Junior, one of Real Madrid’s most active players. Instead of trying to disrupt his quick runs, they let him pass with one or more players committed to positioning well in the center of the penalty area, and removing the crosses he sends to his teammates.
