Carlo Ancelotti praised his players by saying that this team has a strong mentality, as they want to win every single game.
Real Madrid visited Anoeta to lock horns with Real Sociedad and came out victorious with the help of Arda Guler, who scored the only goal of the game. With this victory, Real Madrid took a big step towards clinching the La Liga title, as they are now 14 points clear of their eternal rivals, FC Barcelona.

Real Madrid rested key players ahead of their UEFA Champions League semi-finals against Bayern, and Carlo Ancelotti will be one happy manager after seeing the grit and determination of players who have not played many minutes this season. Real Sociedad, which currently sits in the 6th spot in the league table, dominated possession, but the visitors were very clinical as they converted their only chance of the first half in the 29th minute.
Dani Carvajal played a cross in the box from the right-hand side, which was converted by Arda Guler at the far post, as he scored his second goal for Real Madrid after making the move from Fenerbahce. Real Sociedad thought they scored the equalizer just 3 minutes later when Tate Kubo scored a fantastic goal, but it was ruled out by VAR because of the foul on French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni in the buildup.

Los Blancos also had some chances of their own, with the best one falling to Camavinga, who failed to convert in the dying moments of the game.
