I predicted this game wrong, I thought it would be a win for Real Madrid, but it wasn't, they could only draw. Actually I see more of Real Madrid's goals which usually come in the second half, but they couldn't do that in this game, they couldn't destroy the defense built by Real Sociedad until the final minutes of the game. As a result they are now 5 points behind their eternal rivals, Barcelona. This season's La Liga is not as easy as last season where they could claim the championship very comfortably without any significant disturbances.
It's the same here, I believe Real Madrid will not have too many problems to get 3 points in the match against Real Sociedad, but in fact they were frustrated the whole match. Obviously, this is an unfavorable condition considering that Barcelona is further ahead, now it has 5 points. Even though Real Madrid really played well and created lot of chances, they were all in vain. This is the 3rd draw for Real Madrid this season at home, and I hope they will be even better in their next match.
Carlo Ancelotti still praised his team even though they failed to win the home game. I think he needs to work hard to improve the team's performance following Barcelona's recent good form.
He said: "It was a shame because we played very well and we deserved to win. We played a complete game, one of the best of the season, but we didn't have any luck.
"The team is improving and growing and physically we are much better. Now the injured return and we have confidence for the coming months.
"We have done very well with and without the ball and all we had to do was score, we came so close but it is a draw. I am satisfied because the team has played very well."
