Real Madrid Get Set for PSG by Hammering Real Sociedad (Asharq Al-awsat English)

Madrid had to come from behind at the Santiago Bernabeu as two scintillating long-range strikes from Eduardo Camavinga and Luka Modric turned the game on its ...

Benzema skipped up to the penalty and guided it in. Modric took Silva left, right and then left again, working enough space to unleash with his left foot, the ball soaring high into the net. Benzema and Rodrygo both went close while Real Sociedad were struggling to escape their own half for the opening 20 minutes. It took until the 29th minute for Madrid to register a shot on goal and the crowd were getting agitated when Camavinga's rocket released the tension. The first was ruled out for offside, Benzema a whisker too quick to latch onto Modric's pass after Camavinga robbed Asier Illarramendi. Benzema looks sharp again after recovering from his own hamstring injury last month.
