Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory against Real Sociedad at Anoeta Stadium on Saturday evening, earning three points in the Spanish League’s fourth round. This win marked their third victory of the season, placing them second in the league standings, behind Barcelona.
Despite the win, Carlo Ancelotti expressed dissatisfaction with the performance, particularly of Brazilian winger Rodrigo. Ancelotti warned Rodrigo that continued poor performance could jeopardize his starting position in future matches.
Ancelotti also praised Kylian Mbappe, who was named man of the match, urging him to maintain his high level of play throughout the season’s crucial games.
Additionally, Ancelotti requested Luka Modric to apologize to Rodrigo for a heated exchange during the game. Modric had reprimanded Rodrigo for losing the ball during a critical moment, nearly allowing a counterattack from Real Sociedad.
Modric quickly reprimanded Rodrigo, warning him not to repeat the mistake, stating, “You can’t do it again, or you should ask to leave the field.” The newspaper also reported that Ancelotti, along with his assistant and son Davide Ancelotti, has decided to bench Turkish player Arda Guler and include French player Aurélien Tchouaméni in the lineup for the Champions League match against Stuttgart next Tuesday.
