Carlo Ancelotti surprised everyone with his starting XI for the game against Real Sociedad when he made nine changes to the team that beat Barca in El Clasico. Players like Lunin, Rudiger, Bellingham, Camavinga, Vinicius, Valverde, Vazquez and Rodrygo were all given a rest.
"People thought we were here just to relax. False. My players wanted to win. I have to thank them because their attitude was extraordinary," Ancelotti explained.
Real Madrid defeated Sociedad 1-0 thanks to a smooth goal from Arda Guler in the first half.
Madrid are now four points away from winning their 36th La Liga title as they are 14 points clear of their closest challengers with four games left.
