Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad Preview
It wasn’t pretty but it took a last-gasp strike from Carlos Espi to gift Jose Mourinho a winning start on his return to the Real Madrid dugout on MD1 against Espanyol. The self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ saw his side take the lead through Jude Bellingham before Alex Calatrava levelled for the hosts.
Espi spared Real’s blushes in a game which they statistically dominated. Something of which many will be expecting as they welcome Real Sociedad to the capital on Wednesday night. As for the White and Blues, they lost their opener at Betis. Rodrigo Riquelme scored the only goal of the game at the Estadio de La Cartuja.
