Zapping World Eleven Hugo Lloris: The big dates in blue
We expected a big fight, it took place this Sunday evening between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. On behalf of the 19th day of La Liga, the two teams neutralized each other (0-0) despite many clear chances on both sides. From the start of the game, the Basques put their noses out the window to worry Courtois. Sortloth was initially too short at six meters (4′) before Illarramendi saw his cross shot go just wide (17′). On the Madrid side, the most prominent man was Vinicius, author of a magnificent little chained bridge with a shot that failed at the foot of the post (13 ‘). The Merengue then took over and made their opponents suffer but Vinicius came up against Remiro (45′), the Sociedad goalkeeper, who delivered a great performance.
Remiro disgusts Madrid attackers
In the second half, Carlo Ancelotti’s men increased their domination without finding the fault. Rodrygo then Valverde lacked precision in their attempts (49′). Led by a very good Ceballos, Real were still scared when Kubo forced Courtois into a magnificent reflex on the hour mark (60′). The end of the game was dominated by Madrid, but it took a lot more tonight to deceive Remiro. The Basque goalkeeper won one last time ahead of Vinicius (70′) to save an important point for Imanol Alguacil’s players. This draw is a bad operation in the standings for Real Madrid (2nd, 42 points) which sees Barça (1st, 47 points) take a five-point lead at the top of La Liga. Real Sociedad consolidates its fine third place.
