I just went and checked - Real Sociedad are in 16th place in La Liga and Real Madrid are in 1st. Spanish football, of course, is notorious for having two teams so far beyond their competition that they might as well be magical bloody elves for all the hope that the likes of Levante Real Sociedad have of catching them. That means that there are only two really compelling stories possible when one of Real Madrid and Barcelona play.
Real Sociedad Vs. Real Madrid, 2011 La Liga: Boring Game, But Madrid Get 1-0 Win
- A beautiful, hilarious blowout where wonderful skill is put on display.
- The favourites nearly dropping points because they start freaking out and it’s funny.
What you don't expect to happen is for Real Madrid to go ahead really early through a neat finish by the amazing Gonzalo Higuain and then do nothing for the rest of the match. Iker Casillas was never really threatened. Claudio Bravo made a couple of decent saves. But there was no drama - Sociedad weren't coming back - and the football was pretty bad too. What a complete waste of a match.
