Jose Mourinho's team had to wait until the final minutes to win all 3 points against Espanyol in the match last weekend. The two teams drew 1-1 until the 90th minute, before Carlos Espi scored the decisive goal.
Real Madrid will continue their La Liga campaign with a confrontation with Real Sociedad. This match was originally scheduled for the opening round but had to be postponed due to some Real Madrid players participating in the final matches at the 2026 World Cup.
Los Blancos understand that they need to minimize stunts if they want to overcome Barcelona in the championship race. Blaugrana started the season with a 5-0 victory over Elche.
Mourinho is unlikely to continue making big deals in the last days of the transfer window. The Portuguese coach believes that the current squad is strong enough to compete in all competitions in the 2026-2027 season.
On the other side, Real Sociedad had an unsuccessful start when losing to Real Betis 0-1. Rodrigo Riquelme scored the only goal in the 63rd minute, causing the Basque team to suffer defeat in the first match.
They closed La Liga 2025-2026 in 10th place, a performance lower than expected. However, they still qualified for the group stage of the Europa League 2026-2027 thanks to their achievements at the Copa del Rey last season.
Pellegrino Matarazzo's team did not add any new players in the summer, but kept Mikel Oyarzabal. The Spanish striker was once interested by Barcelona.
