eal Madrid managed to secure three very important points on the road by defeating Real Sociedad 2-0.
However, coach Carlo Ancelotti seems not to have been completely convinced by his team’s triumph. ‘It was a tough game. Maybe we didn’t deserve to win because Real Sociedad played very well and pushed hard, but we held on and suffered.’
‘The beginning was difficult. They applied very good pressure, but we were always able to find the free player. I’m happy with the win, but we need to be critical if we want to improve.’
Los Blancos were indeed lucky, as Sociedad hit the post several times in both halves, leaving Thibaut Courtois stunned.
Real Madrid also needed two penalties to seal the win and close the gap with Barcelona, who play their match tomorrow (Sunday) against Girona. The Madrid team will return to action again on Tuesday, hosting the German team Stuttgart at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League.”
