The Real Madrid receive the Real Society in a demanding match for the whites who come to this duel after chaining five victories in a row. A duel of maximum pressure for the two teams that put their league aspirations into play. Real Madrid, stay alive in the fight for the LaLiga title and Real Sociedad, tighten Sevilla in the fight to enter the next Champions League. As it is, tonight's duel promises a lot.
For this encounter, Zidane recover four players: Marcelo, Odriozola, Valverde and Rodrygo. Without a doubt, it greatly alleviates the situation of the coach who once again has options for first-team players on the bench. Despite that, Real Madrid still has five casualties: Sergio Ramos, Hazard, Benzema, Carvajal and Militao. The big question for tonight's meeting is yes Zidane will start any of those recovered or will continue betting on the same from this last month of February. Everything indicates that the coach will repeat with those who have not lost in the last five games. The question is whether the attacking point will bet with Mariano start or will bet on Isco playing as a false nine, as he did in the Champions League against Atalanta.
The Royal Society, for its part, reaches this duel of Valdebebas without Mikel Merino and Asier Illarramendi. The Basque team has three victories and a draw in the last four league games. Or what is the same, at a good time to surprise the whites again, as they did in the last edition of the Copa del Rey at the Santiago Bernabéu. It was one of the few positive results that the Basques have obtained against Zidane's team, which has won 7 of the 10 matches against Real Sociedad.
All the data of Real Madrid – Real Sociedad
Alguacil has been thinking about this meeting for some time, in fact he gave rest in the last commitment to some of his best players, such as Asier Illarramendi, who has been left out due to muscle discomfort, David Silva qwho did not travel to Manchester or Nacho monreal who was a substitute. To these casualties must be added those of Aritz Elustondo and Joseba Zaldua. Although the most important absence is that of Mikel Merino, in his best season, and the Real hardly know how to play without the excellent Navarrese footballer who does not lose a game, except this one due to the accumulation of cards that will leave a void difficult to replace. The couple Guevara-Zubimendi or also Guridi they can fill the gaps in the center of the field.
