Before the Copa del Rey semifinal return match, injuries to Carvajal and Militao continue in Real Madrid.

Real Sociedad made difficult

Hosting Real Madrid in Reale in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, Real Sociedad played a very brave game against their opponent. Imanol Alguacil’s students, who played with 52% of the ball, took 11 shots at the opponent’s goal and hit 6 of them. Sociedad, who were effective at the Real Madrid goal by getting the ball in the opponent’s penalty area 37 times, had the chance to use corners 8 times. Real Sociedad, who struggled with 1.05 xG, faced a steel wall at the opponent’s goal.
