Player Ratings: Real Madrid 4 - 1 Real Sociedad; 2022 La Liga (Managing Madrid)

Carlo Ancelotti implemented a high pressing scheme which pinned Real Sociedad back and helped Madrid run riot at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Scored a long range missile from outside the box to equalize for Madrid and set the team in motion. The Brazilian won 5 of his 6 aerial duels, had 2 completed dribbles, was 8/10 on his long ball distribution and had a brilliant raking long diagonal pass to set-up the fourth goal. He was everywhere and provided the midfield with the fresh and youthful legs needed to press high. David Alaba—8.5: Like Militao, was instrumental in keeping the line high and pinning Real Sociedad back. Thibaut Courtois—7: Aside from the penalty kick, did have a single save to make. Real Madrid were slow to warm their engines in this match, but after Eduardo Camavinga’s goal —the floodgates opened.

Barca substitute Ferran Torres equalized from close range just before the hour mark, however, as Elche began to sit deeper to defend their advantage.

Atletico Madrid are now fourth after Joao Felix netted twice in their 3-1 win away to Real Betis. The Portuguese forward netted in the first minute, and although Cristian Tello equalized in a first half that saw Sime Vrsaljko, Angel Correa and Andres Guardado all go off injured, Felix's second of the match after 60 minutes put Atletico back in front and Thomas Lemar assured the win with 10 minutes left to play.

Real Madrid Player Ratings vs Real Sociedad: 8/10 for Benzema... (The Hard Tackle)

Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga and Karim Benzema starred as Real Madrid came from behind to beat Real Sociedad 4-1 in La Liga on Saturday.

The Brazilian did not score or assist a goal on the night, but still added a lot of value to the team with his movement, pressing and work ethic. Benzema put the ball into the back of the net moments after Camavinga had scored, but it was disallowed due to a fractional offside call. It was his run that led to the penalty from which Benzema scored. Handed a rare starting opportunity due to the injuries to Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga made the most of his chance with a fine performance. Full of energy, the Frenchman covered plenty of ground, putting in the hard yards off the ball, while being composed and precise with his use of possession. Militao bossed his duel against Alexander Isak, who struggled to get a sight of the Real Madrid goal on the night. After a disappointing game against Rayo Vallecano last time out, Casemiro put in a much-improved display during which he was astute defensively, was secure in possession and used the ball judiciously. Back into the lineup after recovering from an injury, the Austrian showed his class with a fine all-round performance. The Frenchman did make a few good forward runs but could have been more attack-minded on occasions. But he finally got his goal in the 76th minute from the penalty spot as Vinicius Junior was adjudged to have been fouled inside the box by VAR after the referee had initially awarded a free kick. Carvajal was also a regular attacking outlet down the right flank and redeemed himself by setting Asensio up for the fourth goal. However, Luka Modric unleashed a long-range stunner to put Real Madrid in front just a minute later.

Every player Real Madrid sold in 2021 and how they've fared since (PlanetFootball)

Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos during a game between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Camp Nou ... Real Madrid have always been a club of superstars, to the point ...

Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema have stepped up to lead the club after Ronaldo left in 2018. That was until the summer of 2021. When a club is stacked full of footballing legends, their departures hit hard. “How the team functions when he is there and when he is not there, that is really difficult to measure.” The Norway captain signed for Real Madrid as a 15-year-old who was sought after by every club in Europe, and his debut against Getafe in 2015 made him the youngest ever player to appear for the club. Playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world comes with a lot of pressure that even the greatest players just can’t handle – and a ‘Real Madrid reject’ will likely be the best player on the pitch wherever he eventually ends up.
