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."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
