Real Sociedad went ahead at the Bernabéu but Real Madrid turned it around with goals for Camavinga, Modrić, Benzema and Asensio to extend their lead at the top of the LaLiga table to 8 points.
Real Madrid continue their relentless form. Our team came back to cancel out Real Sociedad’s opener with a series of stunning goals and extend their lead at the top of LaLiga, where they now sit eight points clear of Sevilla in second. Oyarzabal put the visitors ahead from the spot with just nine minutes gone but Camavinga and Modrić turned the game back in Ancelotti’s men’s favour before the break with two spectacular strikes. In the second half, a Benzema penalty and a goal for Asensio rounded off a positive evening. The league leaders now turn their attentions to Wednesday’s Champions League Round of 16 second leg clash with PSG (9:00pm CET).
The madridistas were up against it inside ten minutes, as Real Sociedad took the lead when Carvajal brought down Silva in the box and Oyarzabal stepped up to convert the spot-kick. The goal provoked a swift reaction from Real Madrid, who upped the pace of the game and began to look threatening, winning the ball back high up the pitch and carving out dangerous opportunities. Modrić whipped a cross into the box on 36’ and just as Casemiro was waiting to turn home from inside the six-yard box, Le Normand was on hand to save his team by clearing off the line. He was helpless to keep out the next attempt just four minutes later though, as Camavinga unleashed a fierce long-range effort to bring the scores level.
