Real Madrid is chasing a league and European double as it heads to Real Sociedad in the latest leg of La Liga
Champions League semi-finalist Real Madrid will make the trip north to Spain’s coastline to face Real Sociedad on Friday with a chance to take on giant leap closer to clinching La Liga once more. Los Blancos are currently 11 points clear at the top of the standings and need just three more wins to wrap up the league title and ensure their place as the kings of Spain once again. La Real came out on top the last time they hosted Carlo Ancelotti’s side in May last year and are hoping to improve an impressive record in this fixture after avoiding defeat in five of their last nine encounters with the Madrid giants.

Still unbeaten in La Liga since a derby defeat to Atletico Madrid in September, Real come into this clash on a high after twice coming back from behind to beat Barcelona in El Clasico on Sunday.
Defeat at the Bernabeu could have reopened some conversation of a title challenge at the table summit, but Jude Bellingham’s injury-time strike instead widened the gap even further:
The England international has been nothing short of sensational in his first campaign in Spain and looks destined to mark his maiden season with a league crown.
That could quickly become a European and domestic double, however, after Real also beat Manchester City to reach the Champions League semis, where the club will face Bayern Munich over two legs.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, sits sixth in the standings for the time being and is all but guaranteed to miss out on next term’s Champions League, with 10 points between it and the top four.
Dropped points against Almeria and Getafe in the last two outings for Imanol Alguacil’s side have crushed any realistic chance of ascending above fifth and a place in next term’s Europa League.
Ancelotti may consider resting some personnel just a few days out from Real’s first-leg clash away to Bayern, though Los Blancos will be wary of getting too big for their britches.
Regional restrictions may apply.
