Real Madrid move one step closer to LaLiga title with hard-fought win over Sociedad

Real Madrid made several changes ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich and it was evident as they struggled early on against Sociedad,

Kepa Arrizabalaga was tested early on by Takefusa Kubo and the home side had a penalty claim denied in a tense opening period.

Madrid made the most of their first real opportunity courtesy of Arda Güler who netted his second goal since arriving last summer.

Sociedad had an equalizer ruled out by VAR due to a foul, and Kepa Arrizabalaga made crucial saves to preserve the lead.

The hosts, who were the far better side, pushed hard for an equalizer, but were denied as Los Blancos moved an inch closer to winning the title.
