Bernabeu booed Mourinho's Real due to a Croat. Then everything turned around....

Luka Sučić played a full ninety minutes for Real Sociedad against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, scoring a crucial equalizer and earning a high rating of 7.4. Statistically, Sučić was one of the most active players for the Basque team, contributing significantly despite the eventual 4-1 loss.

The match marked the return of José Mourinho to the Bernabéu, thirteen years after his departure. Initially, the Portuguese manager received a thunderous applause and chants from the crowd, a welcome contrasting with his desire for focus on the team. However, this celebratory atmosphere quickly dissipated as Real Madrid struggled to find rhythm.

Real Madrid's performance was slow and disjointed, leaving them vulnerable to counter-attacks. Sociedad appeared more dangerous, with Thibaut Courtois making a crucial save early on. As Real Madrid's play remained disconnected, nervousness grew among the home crowd, leading to whistles and audible displeasure.

Despite the overall defeat for Sociedad, Sučić's goal in the first half, which leveled the score at 1-1, was a moment of individual brilliance. His performance included two shots on goal, four corner kicks, and four crosses, underscoring his active role in the match. The game ultimately saw Real Madrid secure a victory, but Sučić's contribution was a notable highlight for his team.
