A rather disappointing display from the Moroccan who barely had a sniff.
Player Ratings: Real Sociedad 0-1 Real Madrid – 2023/24
A heavily rotated Real Madrid team clinched a hard-fought 1-0 win against Real Sociedad on Friday thanks to Arda Güler’s first half strike.
The win means Ancelotti’s side now only need four more points to mathematically become LaLiga champions for the thirty-sixth time. Real Madrid’s focus now shifts to Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich.
Player ratings:
Starting XI:
Kepa Arrizabalaga: 7.5/10
A solid display from Kepa who made a number of smart stops to deny Sociedad. Well earned clean sheet.
Dani Carvajal: 7.5/10
Carvajal is suspended for the first leg against Bayern Munich which is why he started tonight. The Spaniard assisted Güler’s winner with a smart cross across goal. Another brilliant performance.
Eder Militão: 6/10
Militão’s first start since August 12. The Brazilian made a number of mistakes and didn’t look too comfortable which is to be expected after eight months on the sidelines. Great to see him complete the full ninety minutes.
Nacho Fernandez: 7/10
A relatively solid performance for the Spaniard who was kept busy throughout the ninety minutes.
Fran Garcia: 7/10
Joselu: 4/10
Substitutions:
Vinicius Jr: 6/10 – Came on to replace Güler. Was sharp since coming on.
Federico Valverde: 6/10 – Came on to replace Ceballos for his 47th appearance of the season.
Antonio Rüdiger: 6/10 – Came on to replace Brahim Diaz.
Eduardo Camavinga: 6/10 – Came on to replace Fran Garcia.
Lucas Vazquez: N/A – Came on to replace Luka Modric late on.
