All goals: Real Madrid-Real Sociedad
With the return of Vini Jr. and an insatiable Mbappé, Real Madrid are chasing their eighth straight victory against a Real Sociedad side unbeaten since the managerial change. Three crucial points are at stake as they look to climb to the top of La Liga before the Champions League showdown.
48’ Goal! Real Madrid 4, Real Sociedad 1. Vinícius Júnior (Real Madrid) calmly converts the penalty, placing the ball at the left post with a subtle right-footed touch.
31’ THE FALCON SOARS HIGH IN CHAMARTÍN! What an outrageous goal from Fede Valverde! That wasn’t a shot — it was an absolute rocket! The Uruguayan pounced on the ball in the heart of the box after a pinpoint delivery from Álvaro Carreras and, without a second thought, unleashed a thunderous right-footed strike that flew straight into the top-right corner. Impossible. Unstoppable. Out of this world!
25’ Vini Jr. claims his throne! The Bernabéu erupts as the Brazilian calmly buries the penalty with ice-cold confidence. Vinícius steps up, locks eyes with the keeper, and with pure class smashes a powerful right-footed strike straight down the middle, ripping into the net. Real Madrid take the lead again — and the top spot is within touching distance!
21’ Mikel Oyarzabal makes no mistake from the spot! The txuri-urdin captain takes full responsibility with absolute composure. With the pressure sky-high, the No. 10 delivers in style — a fierce, clinical left-footed strike straight down the middle, leaving the Madrid keeper with no chance. Real Sociedad respond instantly and level the score!
5’ La Fábrica strikes! It wasn’t Mbappé, it wasn’t Vini… it was Gonzalo García! The young Madrid forward sends Chamartín into a frenzy after latching onto a surgical delivery — trademark precision — from Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Englishman whipped in a cross with perfect weight into the heart of the box, and Gonzalo, showing the composure of a seasoned veteran, drilled a crisp right-footed shot tight to the post. No chance for the keeper!

A Renewed Real Sociedad
The opposition will be anything but routine. Since Pellegrino Matarazzo took charge of the San Sebastián side, Real Sociedad haven’t tasted defeat. They arrive on a nine-game unbeaten run, brimming with confidence after claiming the Basque derby in the Copa.
With Mikel Oyarzabal leading the charge — 10 goals this season — the txuri-urdin have both firepower and belief. Organized, intense, and dangerous in transition, they pose a real threat to Madrid’s momentum as they continue their push toward the European places.
Heavy Artillery in the Charge for the Top Spot
The big boost for Madrid fans is the return of Vini Jr., back in the starting XI after missing the trip to Valencia through suspension. He’ll link up with a red-hot Kylian Mbappé, who arrives in scintillating form after scoring in six consecutive league matches.
“We’ll need our best version to secure the three points,” warned Álvaro Arbeloa, fully aware that February’s packed schedule leaves no margin for error, with the Champions League just around the corner.
The fortress of Chamartín opens its doors once again. Real Madrid host Real Sociedad today backed by a daunting statistic: 10 wins from 11 home matches this season.
Under the guidance of Álvaro Arbeloa, Los Blancos are chasing their eighth straight victory — one that would allow them to go to sleep as sole leaders of La Liga.
