Real Madrid will hope to make it four wins in four La Liga matches under Xabi Alonso when they take on Real Sociedad in San Sebastián.
Los Blancos went into the September international break atop the La Liga table, level on points with Athletic Bilbao through three matches. Comfortable victories against Osasuna, Real Oviedo and Mallorca gave Real Madrid a perfect start to their 2025–26 campaign.
The Spanish giants’ next test comes at Reale Arena. Real Madrid will like their odds against a winless Real Sociedad side, especially after they escaped the international window without any injuries.
Still, Alonso will be unable to call upon Jude Bellingham, Ferland Mendy, Endrick and Antonio Rüdiger, who sustained a thigh injury, for the clash. Eduardo Camavinga will also miss the trip after suffering a setback in his recovery from a sprained ankle.
Here’s what Real Madrid’s XI could look like against Real Sociedad on Sept. 13.
