Real Madrid visits Real Sociedad this Friday at the Reale Arena after dealing an almost definitive blow to LaLiga EA Sport. The whites arrive 11 points ahead of their immediate pursuer, Barcelona, whom they defeated in a controversial classic that was decided in the final minutes thanks to a goal from Jude Bellingham (3-2).
Carlo Ancelotti's team has the title in its hand, with an 11-point margin and only 15 at stake in this final stretch of the competition. And it doesn't seem like he's going to fail in these last few games. In 32 days, they have barely lost 15 points. They have only been defeated in a single match, in the sixth round, on September 24, against Atlético de Madrid.
Real Sociedad comes into the duel playing for a European place with Betis, Valencia and Villarreal, the latter somewhat further behind. Imanol Alguacil's team occupies sixth position with 51 points, 3 above the Andalusian team.
Those from San Sebastian will take advantage of the duel against Real Madrid to pay tribute to David Silva, who played three seasons with the 'txuri urdin team. The Canary Islands player will receive the gold and diamond badge in recognition of his time at the club.
Silva "has left an indelible mark on the entire Txuri Urdin family and showed from day one a humility and commitment worthy of praise," Real Sociedad said in a statement in which it highlights that the midfielder "put all his talent at the service of the team and was a key piece for the achievements achieved in recent seasons" by the Gipuzkoa team.
The match between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, corresponding to the twenty-third matchday of LaLiga EA Sports, will be played this Friday, April 26, at 9:00 p.m. at the Reale Arena. The meeting can be seen on television on Movistar and can also be followed live through the La Vanguardia website.
