The match came too early for Eden Hazard, but not for Thibaut Courtois. Luckily for Real Madrid, because the Belgian goalie made the difference.
When the Swedish attacker Isak tried to outwit him, he came out well. Courtois shielded the target with all his body. Finally he tapped the ball with his outstretched left.
His teammates couldn’t make the difference. Real claimed the ball in San Sebastian, but did not do enough to claim a victory.
No goals, but two striking names. The young Norwegian midfielder Martin Odegaard (21) has been loaned by Real Madrid for years, now he was allowed to start the match in the shirt of the Royal Dutch. Nota bene to his ex-team.
David Silva made his appearance at Sociedad. After 10 years at Manchester City, he returned to the Spanish league.
