Tchouameni and Bellingham not training with the squad and therefore will not be available when Real Madrid take on Real Sociedad tomorrow.

Real Madrid starting XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Rudiger, Militao, Mendy, Valverde, Modric, Guler, Brahim, Vinicius, Mbappe.

Rodrygo on the bench tonight. Both Brahim and Güler start.

Having someone playing in this area would be awesome.

Arda Güler is not playing the role and position I feel he should be playing tonight, but I don't know if he's following Ancelotti's instructions or not.

Rodrygo warming up, Brahim appears to be feeling some discomfort.

Brahim leaves the field and Real Madrid's injury woes continue.

It feels weird seeing a team coached by Carlo playing this way when he successfully turned a pure winger like Di Maria into a CM when he needed someone in this precise role. At least you have to try the same thing even if (on paper) you don't have the personnel, right?

The job is done somehow. Gotta protect the lead now.

Militao feeling some discomfort on his surgically repaired knee. He's limping. Fingers crossed.

Real Madrid about to pull a pretty lucky win off tonight. Need a few of these during the course of a season to win LaLiga. Good stuff.

Real Madrid starting XI: Courtois, Lucas Vazquez, Carvajal, Rudiger, Mendy, Tchouameni, Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Mbappe.

Nice pass by Tchouameni!

Bobby!

Endrick scoring after making one of the worst decisions in a counterattack I've ever seen 😂

Don't really feel like I need to explain it. I mean... Hats off to the kid, big fan! You can't possibly tell me this is a good decision, though 😂

Look at Arda Güler😂

No! We will be relying on Shams from now on, truly a sad day.

Thank you Woj!
