La Liga 2025-2026: Real Madrid-Real Sociedad, the probable formations

Today, at 9 p.m., Real Madrid hosts Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu for the 24th day of the Spanish Liga. The Blancos, fresh off five consecutive victories, are second in the standings with 57 points, just one point behind Barcelona, which currently leads the standings. A win today would allow Real to overtake the Catalans, who will play on Monday.

Real Sociedad, eighth in the standings with 31 points, arrives at the Bernabeu in good shape. Matarazzo’s team has won four of its last five games, also getting a draw. In addition, the Basques are in the running for the final of the Copa del Rey, having won the’first leg of the semifinals against Athletic Bilbao. Despite this, Real Sociedad is still far from the places that would guarantee access to European competitions.

Real Madrid will have to do without the injured Militao and Bellingham, while Mendy and Rodrygo are to be evaluated. Vinicius will be back available after suspension and Alexander-Arnold could start. On the other side, Real Sociedad will be without Kubo and Marrero, as well as the disqualified Mendez. It will be an intense match, with both teams determined to win the 3 points.
