Large leader of La Liga, Real Madrid followed up with a new victory on the field of Real Sociedad (0-1), Friday evening, four days before facing Bayern in the Champions League. Toni Kroos and Jude Bellingham remained on the sidelines.

Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo were withdrawn but are announced to be operational for the trip to Bavaria.
Real was thus led by an attacking trio composed of Brahim Diaz, Joselu and Arda Güler and it was the 19-year-old Turkish prodigy, for his first start in the Spanish league, who scored his second goal of the season, from a cross by Dani Carvajal (29th).
