Real Madrid prepares to host Real Sociedad after postponed match

Summary

Real Madrid will host Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu for their La Liga match on August 26, following a postponed opener due to player returns from the FIFA World Cup. Real Sociedad lost 1-0 to Real Betis in their season debut and will be looking to secure their first points. This match marks the return of Jose Mourinho to the Bernabeu as manager and the first appearance of new signings, including Marc Cucurella, since the team's last match there in May. Attention will be particularly focused on Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. after both had underwhelming performances in their previous game against Espanyol.
