Real Madrid, with Jon Aramburu and Yangel Herrera as starters, fell at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium by 4-1 against Real Madrid.

Mbappé opened the scoring in the 40th minute after a skillful build-up involving Federico Valverde, who bypassed defenders to set up the French forward. Although Luka Sučić managed to equalize for Real Sociedad before halftime, the momentum shifted back to Real Madrid in the second half. Mbappé's second goal came from a sharp combination with Jude Bellingham, exploiting space behind Herrera.

Real Sociedad's struggles were compounded by losing possession twice during a restart, leading to Vinicius Jr.'s goal.

Prior to this encounter, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Real Betis. The team has yet to play at their home stadium, Anoeta. With upcoming matches against Espanyol and their rivals Athletic Bilbao, who also lost their opening game, Real Sociedad currently sits at the bottom of the league table.
