Real Madrid head into their crucial La Liga clash against Real Sociedad with a slimmed-down squad, missing key players Éder Militão, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo due to hamstring issues, though Vinícius Júnior returns from suspension and Kylian Mbappé is expected to feature after shaking off a recent knee concern.

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad will be missing key players Takefusa Kubo and Ander Barrenetxea, along with Luka Sučić, due to injuries, while Brais Méndez is suspended, putting extra pressure on Pellegrino Matarazzo's side despite their strong recent form.

Real Madrid remain undefeated in their last two encounters against Real Sociedad, claiming back-to-back victories in those fixtures. 21 web pages

The last time Real Sociedad won at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid was in January 2019 (a La Liga match).

The White and Blues have not secured a victory there in any competition since then, with Los Blancos winning the subsequent home encounters, including the most recent 2-0 result in May 2025.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belong on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
