There is nothing to be proud of today about the win, of course because I think this win really depended on luck. Real Madrid's overall performance was not good in my opinion, you can see from the way they build attacks and make final finishes. Without the two penalty awards, Real Madrid might lose or just draw, but this victory is also worth being grateful for whatever the scenario.

The important thing is that Real Madrid gets 3 points in this match because their target is to find a win. I also see that their game performance is still quite good even though they are not strengthened by some of their core players, but Real Madrid is still able to dominate the game. They were able to put a lot of pressure throughout the match which made Real Sociedad unable to control the balance of their game in this match.

Especially for Ancelotti, where he managed to carry out his duties as well as possible by bringing his team to steal points at Sociedad's home. He is the greatest tactician because the absence of several players certainly will not interfere with his concentration in carrying out the mission to bring victory. Today's victory is also quite important for Real Madrid because they are getting closer to Barcelona, which is now the difference in points between the two is 1 point.
Real Madrid won another game in which they didn't play well thanks to 2 penalties. Real Sociedad had shots that hit the post, they had clear scoring positions but they couldn't score. Real Madrid had many wins like this last year without playing well. I don't think they will be champions this year with this game, they have to play better.
Barca have a tough game tomorrow, but even if they lose they will still end the week on top. Barca started well from the beginning, that's their advantage. I still think they will beat Girona and make it five out of five.
Real Madrid’s performance against Real Sociedad is not impressive, they are supposed to win this match with good goal margin of at least 4-0 or so; but despite the two goals coming from penalties, it is an important win for Madrid because with the gap Barcelona is trying to give them, they need to win all their matches to meet up with them and to take advantage of they accidentally lose any match along the line.Barca have a tough game tomorrow, but even if they lose they will still end the week on top. Barca started well from the beginning, that's their advantage. I still think they will beat Girona and make it five out of five.
Mbappé and Vinicius Jr’s bonding is becoming more interesting, they two players are getting to know each others more and they are open to each other which will be the reason why they will not get problem because once any of them decided to be selfish, the entire team will be affected and it will affect their individual football careers. Mbappé looks happy in Madrid because he is a good player and the fans likes him much, and he have started to score goals for Madrid.

Sociedad in the end was not an easy opponent as predicted before where they gave a very good resistance especially they also played home which made their confidence increase but in the end Madrid was able to give their best and get back 3 points which of course this is a good capital for them to avoid criticism that will be received.
With this result, my bet with odds of 1.75 in the end is not too bad because this is an appropriate thing in my opinion for betting on Madrid this time.
Regardless of how Real Madrid wins the match, what is clear is that 3 points are safe to reduce the gap with Barcelona. But then, the performance of this team was really unsatisfactory mainly because they had almost no chances to score goals in any other way. Real Madrid's lack of opportunities is actually due to a lack of creativity in some players, this is a problem in itself as many players are injured.
I will look forward to seeing Barcelona's response in the match in a few hours. I hope Barcelona can snatch a win from Girona to maintain their winning consistency at the start of the season. Only with this will Barcelona be more enthusiastic about competing, they clearly don't have much other than enthusiasm and good performance from their players.

Which is exactly what everyone will be excited about, including me, because even though I saw them not performing that well in the game, I have the hope that they will win the game, which ends up like that, and if you will be insisting on luck, then I will say Real Sociedad is not lucky today because they had two shots on target that were almost to a goal, but it hit the crossbar, although you rap it up all that with a good sentence that “every victory is also worth being grateful for whatever the scenario.”
But still, Real Madrid needs their players back from injury because there is a lot in them, and every player is useful and also needed this season.

In fact, although Madrid is currently experiencing a lot of obstacles, especially for player injury problems, but looking at the line-up that Madrid played in today's match, I think it is very luxurious and is very enough to get 3 points in today's match.
Camavinga, Jude, Tchouameni and Ceballos are not in the squad due to injury but there are still Brahim, Modric and Arda who can be maximised well in today's match.
Lol, I'd mentioned it here yesterday that Real Madrid will win this match with not much to doubt because even the Real Sociedad side have got some of their good players suffering from injuries and won't be able to appear in the match, so as much as we were focused on the injury players from the Real Madrid side who were going to be absent in the pitch, we should not also forget about the injury crisis from the Real Sociedad side. To add to the reason, is to also confirm the presence of Mbappé in the game even though he's still yet to fully get balanced in the club, he won't allow the game to end without making a mark which he indeed showcased.

The first half has finished and now I'm waiting for the second half to start. There were several tense segments during the match, of course when Real Sociedad players tried to break into Thibaut Courtois' goal. Several shots were blocked, while there were two shots that should have been goals but still hit the crossbar.
Real Sociedad are very lively at home, but they lack composure in finishing. They must be able to take advantage of the slightest opportunity to score a goal, of course if they really want to beat Real Madrid. On the other hand, Real Madrid is not too bad, they are still unlucky and will certainly improve in the second half. The bad consequence for the result of this match is a 1-1 draw.

The game is already getting to an end, but Real Sociedad has tried their new in the game, and their performance in a home game is encouraging, but it's just as you said they lack composure in finishing the game, and that is what Real Madrid have because they can finish the game in the most exciting style.
Although I know the both goals of Real Madrid are all penalties, it is still a win for them, and it will not change the fact that they won Real Sociedad in a home game. We all know that many Real Madrid players are presently injured, but still, Real Madrid played a nice game today. I am very excited for the team, as well as Mappe and Vinicius, that won the goals today.
Frankie De Jong returning isn't a great news for Barcelona, it's an alright news. It's alright, because it's a good thing as in a player is returning, but it also reminds them that he is still with the team and couldn't be sold.
He is making one of the highest salaries in all of Europe, and Barcelona has no clue why they are paying him that much, dude is good but not "highest salary in Europe" levels of good, he is playing at Bruno Fernandes level, but getting KDB skill level money for some reason, in fact he is making more money than KDB as well.
This is why it's good that he is back, but nobody will be cheering for him, no Barcelona fan likes him, they think he should have been sold, or even a free waive would have been fine, as long as they just don't have to pay his salary.

Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona have successfully gone through their first four matches perfectly, they have scored a total of 13 goals and only conceded three goals. This perfect start has seen Barcelona top the standings, four points ahead of their eternal rivals who have only managed two wins and two draws. Barcelona new recruit (Dani Olmo) also performed very well, he immediately showed his class in his first two appearances by always scoring goals.
Matchday five Barcelona will visit Girona headquarters with a mission of revenge for their defeat last season, Barcelona squad is increasingly complete after the return of Gavi and Ansu Fati giving Hansi Flick freedom to formulate a strategy. Of course Hansi Flick will do his best to get maximum results, my prediction is that Barcelona will increase their winning record at Girona headquarters with a score of 1-2.
Barcelona is lucky with manager choices because they had Xavi and he was good too and now right now they are doing fine with Flick as well and I think they will keep doing fine for a long time as well. They are Barcelona after all and it would require more than just a few bad seasons to keep them down. They won once, then last year real won, and this season Barcelona may actually win again.Matchday five Barcelona will visit Girona headquarters with a mission of revenge for their defeat last season, Barcelona squad is increasingly complete after the return of Gavi and Ansu Fati giving Hansi Flick freedom to formulate a strategy.

The reality is that Barcelona is a great team and has a strong foundation so even financial issues will not keep them down for too long, they will probably keep being great all the time. I do not see a period where Real could go for many years in a row without Barcelona getting a few in the middle. Don't get me wrong Real built a great team, but Barcelona will always be ready for trying to win it all.
Though above everything I think Real Madrid would still come out victorious here though I hope Mbappe can also get on the scoresheet to boost his confidence more, though halftime the score is still nil - nil
But then, Real Madrid succeeded in getting a big chance when the referee awarded a penalty. Vinicius converted the penalty easily and now Real Madrid is 0-1 ahead of Real Sociedad. Everything changed after this, of course because I believe Real Madrid no longer had that much pressure to find goals. However, defensive concentration must remain good because Soicedad is very dangerous when building attacks.
The bad consequence for the result of this match is a 1-1 draw.
Yes, 1-1 is still possible. I personally don't expect it, I mean 0-2 is good for me to expect as a final result.

If Barcelona makes the deal happen they should sell Frankie DE Jong, the reason why I said that is because they don't need him in the club again, without DE jong Barcelona can still perform well, Barcelona plays many games without DE Jong and they won and also end up in second place in the table of the league and currently they are the one leading in the table of the league this season, DE jong is the highest paid player in Barcelona and he doesn't help the team the way people think also when the team need him.
DE Jong is not a player who can play for Barcelona, I think leaving the team will help him like the way Dembele did, selling DE jong will not bring any profit for Barcelona because he is a player who always gets injured and no team will want to buy him with a high price, since Barcelona have Gavi and many young players that can play the position of DE jong I think he should be sold to another team.
Real Madrid are still finding their rhythm, and the international break likely didn’t help. Jude Bellingham is adjusting to a new role, while Mbappé is still building chemistry with his teammates. With Alaba, Camavinga, and Ceballos injured, and Bellingham doubtful, the bench will cover the gaps. However, after two weeks without matches, the squad’s physical and mental sharpness can vary following international duty.
Me seeing Arda Guler starting in this match, is making me excited, I expect something good from him he's one of my favourite youngsters especially during the Euro.Though above everything I think Real Madrid would still come out victorious here though I hope Mbappe can also get on the scoresheet to boost his confidence more, though halftime the score is still nil - nil
This is a nightmare for Real Madrid but they are just losing the player they bought for sending too much money in this season and there are many players who are injured in Real Madrid which can make it hard for them to choose the squad for each match. Real Sociedad is the next team they are going to play against them and this can be hard for them because in this match against Real Sociedad, they won't be able to use Bellingham, Tchouaméni because both players are still injured and they won't be in this game against Sociedad.
Camavinga, Jude, Tchouameni and Ceballos are not in the squad due to injury but there are still Brahim, Modric and Arda who can be maximised well in today's match.
4-2-3-1 scheme with Mbappe as the targetman plus Brahim, Arda and Vini behind Mbappe I think this is still very ideal for 3 points in today's match. I have no doubts about Madrid's strength and bet on it for now although it is certainly not easy but I think 3 points can still be obtained in the match that will start in a while.
If we look like i said before in the top teams, only Barcelona of Hansi Flick is overperforming, because both teams from Madrid, Real Madrid and Atletico MAdrid, are under performing until now, both have much more potential than they show until now.
Its nothing to be concerned about but you need to start to chase some better rhythm, and go from less to more.
We need at least a couple of big games to understand what the teams are capable of. Barcelona has a theoretically comfortable advantage of 4 points before the personal meetings, but if the personal meetings are lost, this advantage will evaporate. Atletico lost 4 points by drawing twice, but this does not mean that they are not stronger than Villarreal/Espanyol. Real is a separate topic - due to injuries, they play as best they can, but almost all the injuries are minor and they will soon play with the main team.Its nothing to be concerned about but you need to start to chase some better rhythm, and go from less to more.
Barcelona and Girona is a big game, last season they were beaten by Girona by two if I'm not mistaken, but I know now Barcelona's condition is a little different than before maybe they can win to gap the points further down the table.
It seems that Barcelona will be quite better seeing the performance now, I think we will know what the Barcelona game presents now, if they lose then the opportunity for other teams to overtake them again.

I would say Barcelona themselves are to blame for Barcelona's decline financially. What could be a bigger financial loss than Barcelona making multiple deals for huge sums of money these contracts didn't do them any good and the players they bought for huge amounts of money had to leave the club for free.Barcelona management is responsible for the decline in the club's financial condition and I don't think this is a problem with the squad. So whatever the story, management is the one who has to solve the problem even though good squad performance can help fix it to a certain stage.
On the other hand, Real Madrid did not make this mistake like them, Real Madrid completed the deal on time, that's why they are successful in most of the deals. If Barcelona had played the role of Real Madrid, their financial situation would have improved instead of deteriorating. However, since the financial situation has worsened, they now have to play with the players they have in their squad and have no other option. However, even with the current team that Barcelona is playing with, they have been able to perform well so far, but there is no guarantee that this performance will continue.
The systems adopted by Real Madrid and Barcelona may be different, especially in club management. I don't think Barcelona needs to consider the same approach as Real Madrid adopts in managing its finances, so both have their own approaches and ways of solving problems. Regardless, the team's performance is fine at the moment, but in the long term its performance is unlikely to improve considering there is no improvement in its financial situation. Jump to:
