Real Madrid Starting Lineup Prediction at Real Sociedad

By

If you're a Real Madrid supporter, you can't argue against how the team has started this season. They head out of the international break and into a La Liga fixture at Real Sociedad having taking all nine points from the nine points possible thus far in the 2025-26 season.

Either way, Arsenal thrashed Madrid, 3-0, in a match that could have ended up even more lopsided than that. The quarterfinal … [Read more...] about Real Madrid Starting Lineup Prediction at Alaves
