Real Madrid were forced to come from behind as they maintained their perfect start to the LaLiga season.
Match Report
Jude Bellingham was presented with the player of the month award for August before kick-off, but the Santiago Bernabeu went silent after five minutes when Ander Barrenetxea put Sociedad in front.
It remained 1-0 until half-time, but Carlo Ancelotti’s men levelled immediately after the break with Federico Valverde side-footing home 40 seconds into the second half.
Madrid’s winner arrived on the hour mark when Joselu headed home Fran Garcia’s cross to earn the LaLiga leaders a fifth consecutive win.

Ancelotti has been very unfair to Brahim. In the last two games, despite playing less than 10 minutes, he has been more impactful than Rodrygo. Today, once again, he came on and created chances in his first few minutes; he's the only one who can do a bit or even match what Vinicius Jr used to do. I hope he gets more playing time, and in the next game, he should be a starter. Ancelotti might harm the team because of his favoritism.🥹🥹

Since when does the linesman enter the pitch to kick the ball back to the goalkeeper?? LaLiga referees are out of their mind.

It started from Arribas, he scored against Madrid Then Mayoral scored against Madrid Now it’s Kubo cooking us I hope Marco Llorentte won’t join the trend next week Our own players especially our academy players are always scoring against us 😂

Real Madrid is good at comebacks, you can lead them at early stages but during the final minutes of the game they do wonders
