Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad in less than 3 minutes

Real Madrid took full advantage of Barcelona’s slip up in Seville and they now subsequently find themselves 4 points clear at the top of La Liga thanks to a very comfortable 3-0 home win over Real Sociedad.

It was an almost perfect combination of results as Sevilla also ended up losing to Espanyol on Sunday therefore Los Blancos find themselves with that aforementioned 4 point buffer at the top along with a game in hand still to play.

Right now the title is very much there’s to lose and there were in dominant fashion yesterday as they confirmed their superiority at the top of the La Liga.

The hosts led when Cristiano Ronaldo played in Mateo Kovacic for his first La Liga goal since his move from Inter Milan, while it was the Croatian Kovacic who then returned the favour soon after.

Kovacic then played in Ronaldo to clip the ball over keeper Geronimo Rulli – his 13th goal in his past 13 games. In what was a miserable Afternoon the visitors had Inigo Martinez sent off for two bookable offences before Alvaro Morata headed in Lucas Vazquez’s cross to put an exclamation mark on the result

Their convincing victory was even more impressive, given Real Sociedad are in fifth place, only one point behind Atletico in the race for a Champions League spot.

With Atletico slipping up away at Alaves and only managing a 0-0 draw it was a missed opportunity for Sociedad to move into the Champions League places.

But that race for 4th place seems wide open with Diego Simeone’s side stuttering along at present. They look at a pale immitation of the outfit from the past few seasons as rumours regarding the long term future of Antoine Griezmann continue.

Here is all you need to know from yesterday’s action at The Bernabeu
