Real Madrid 5-2 Real Sociedad: 5 Talking Points

#2 Real Sociedad will want to avoid a poor spell of results following this

Real Sociedad will need to put this defeat behind them

Eusebio Sacristan must have been feeling much better about his job and his team after their 5-0 thumping of Deportivo La Coruna last weekend. But their men looked defeated from the when the ref blew his whistle to kick things off at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Only 8 points clear of the relegation zone, Sociedad will love to have more of a cushion than that. The underachieving Sociedad are languishing in the 14th position and could find themselves sitting at 15th if Espanyol pocket all 3 points against Celta Vigo tonight.

Real Sociedad cannot afford to have negative results against Red Bull Salzburg and Levante this week if they are to feel better about themselves as a team and get back on their feet to see out the rest of the season without much trouble.
