1. Real Madrid suffer 2-0 defeat at Real Sociedad in LaLiga
In their recent LaLiga match, Real Madrid suffered a 2-0 defeat against Real Sociedad. The team struggled to look dangerous without the suspended Vinicius Junior and rested key players like Karim Benzema and Luka Modric. Defender Dani Carvajal’s red card early in the second half further reduced their chances of a comeback. Although struggling in the league, the team still has the Copa del Rey final and Champions League semifinals to look forward to.

With only five games remaining, Real Madrid will only be able to reach 83 points if they win them all. This is a great opportunity for Barcelona to claim another title and maintain their dominance in the LaLiga.

In the match between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, youngster Take Kubo played a crucial role in securing the victory for the hosts.
