    And nothing comes from it.

    Odegaard is of course playing against is ex-team. The two Real Madrid matches he has been involved in have been 6-1 and 7-3 wins...
  • PRVW
    I wonder if we will see David Silva come on tonight. Of course, he already faced Real Madrid last month with Manchester City.
  • PRVW
    Real Sociedad last beat Madrid in the league in 2019. Madrid won the last meeting between these sides in June.
  • PRVW
    I'm interested to see how Odegaard gets on for Real Madrid tonight. Pretty much the same team that finished last season.
  • PRVW
    Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy; Modric, Odegaard, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema and Vinicius
  • PRVW
    Real Sociedad XI: Aihen, Le Normand, Aritz, Gorosabel; Merino, Guevara, Barrenetxea; Oyarzábal, Isak and Portu.
