Vinicius Junior saved the day for Real Madrid when they got a 1-1 draw with Royal Society in the League Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium on Monday night.
Zinedine ZidaneTheir teams will be disappointed to drop points before Sunday’s trip around the city to the Wanda Metropolitano to face the leaders Atletico Madrid.
After the first 45 minutes from the point of view of the hosts, Zidane decided to switch to a three-center lineup. It was against his team, with the most advanced position of Ferland Mendy that caused him to filter a goal to Cristian Portu. The lineup changed after just 15 minutes of the second half.
Portu’s first goal was the third in his last eight appearances in LaLiga Santander. The Spaniard gave Mendy a hard night in Valdebebas and did not stop running until the injury forced him to leave in the second half.
After clean throws against Getafe, Valencia, Real Valladolid and Atalanta, Thibaut Courtois conceded his first goal in five games when Portu’s header found an entrance. The locals still didn’t give many clear chances.
After leaving the bench against Atalanta, Mariano Díaz received Zidane’s departure against Real Sociedad. It was not for lack of attempts by the former Lyon striker, who hit the crossbar with a header from close range, but it took only 60 minutes before he was replaced by Hugo Duro. Really, the Real Madrid boss relied more on the substitute to get the tie?
