Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior turned penalty heroes as Real Madrid snatched a 2-0 victory against Real Sociedad in a match filled with drama, woodwork chaos, and post-rattling frustration. 🎯 The Basque hosts dominated early but were *literally* denied by the frame of the goal *three times* – talk about bad luck! 😱
Vinicius broke the deadlock in the 58th minute after Sociedad’s Sergio Gómez handed Madrid a penalty with an awkward arm block. Mbappé sealed the deal 15 minutes later with a coolly converted spot-kick following a VAR-confirmed foul on Vinícius. ⚖️
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted: “We probably didn’t deserve to win, but we survived the storm.” Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois summed it up: “We got lucky with the posts.” 🍀 Sociedad’s coach Imanol Agualcil fumed: “We’re better than they were today!”
The win pushes Madrid within one point of La Liga leaders Barcelona. Next up? Their Champions League title defense against Stuttgart! 🏆✨
