Spain: Real Madrid move closer to La Liga title

-

Real Sociedad 0 - 1 Real Madrid

Arda Guler scored on his first La Liga start, helping Real Madrid move closer to securing the title with a win against Real Sociedad. 

Real Madrid's 19-year-old Turkish midfielder scored Madrid's first goal in the match, midway through the first half, by turning in a cross.

Carlo Ancelotti made several changes after last weekend's victory in El Clasico, giving opportunities to other players. Real Sociedad started strongly but couldn't convert their dominance into goals, as they failed to breach Madrid's defense.

Takefusa Kubo's attempt to equalize for Real Sociedad was denied by the offside flag, immediately after Guler's goal. The second half was less eventful, with both teams struggling to create chances. However, Real Madrid did enough to secure a victory and move 14 points clear at the top of the table. 

Real Madrid now needs only four more points to secure the title, with five games remaining. Second-placed Barcelona will play against Valencia on Monday.

You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below. The footage is from the Premier Sports YouTube account. 

YouTuber @azeemr896 commented "Real Madrid have arguably the best future if they're managed well. Guler, Bellingham and Endrick all have the potential to be world class.

Liam, a Manchester United fan, watched the match on TV: "Real Madrid's squad is just amazing. They have so many amazing players now and have the squad to dominate Spanish and European football. I am also hoping that Bellingham's season is going to be useful for England at Euro 2024 as he will be used to playing with a lot of pressure behind him."

Thomas, a Real Madrid now living in the UK, said: "We are so close to the title now. Winning the league early would mean we can start to rest players for the important Champions League matches. Forza Real Madrid."

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
