LaLiga 2019/2020 | Real Madrid 3-1 Real Sociedad: 3 Talking Points 

#1 Real Sociedad fail to offer much of a challenge

Imanol Alguacil's team did not perform up to par

It can be argued that Real Sociedad have been the most entertaining teams in LaLiga thus far and while the usual heavy-hitters like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have faltered, the Basque outfit have thrived and are expected to challenge for the European places.

Under Imanol Alguacil, 'La Real' have impressed with their expressive style of play and their charge has been led by the in-form Real Madrid loanee Martin Odegaard, with the Norwegian international riding high on his return to the Spanish top-flight.

Having sat out Sociedad's last two fixtures due to injury, the 20-year-old had a chance to step onto the Santiago Bernabeu over four years after he became the club's youngest-ever first-team player in April 2015.

It was expected that he would lead the visitors' charge as they attempted to stop Real Madrid, but it was an underwhelming display from the former Vitesse man as well as his teammates.

Though there might be a vast difference in the quality of players in both sides, Sociedad's form this season meant that it would not have been utterly surprising if they left the Bernabeu with something, but as it happened, they failed to perform at their usual standards and were good value for their loss.
