Turkish youngster Arda Guler made a significant contribution to Real Madrid's quest for the Spanish title, securing a crucial 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad on Friday. The win propelled Real Madrid 14 points clear at the summit of La Liga, following their recent triumph over arch-rivals Barcelona in the Clasico.
Guler, aged 19, showcased his talent on his first league start, breaking the deadlock for a heavily rotated Real Madrid side at the Reale Arena. With Coach Carlo Ancelotti resting key players ahead of their Champions League semi-final clash with Bayern Munich, the match saw several notable absences from Madrid's starting lineup, including top scorer Jude Bellingham.
Despite the makeshift lineup, Guler's goal proved decisive in a game where Real Madrid struggled to create clear-cut chances. Ancelotti commended the team's commitment despite the alterations, emphasizing their determination to secure victory despite facing a formidable opponent.

The match saw goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, on loan from Chelsea, making crucial saves for Real Madrid as Real Sociedad pushed for an equalizer. Ancelotti also handed defender Eder Militao his first start following a lengthy injury layoff, contributing to a resilient defensive performance.
Real Sociedad, however, failed to capitalize on their dominance, with their attacking efforts thwarted by a resolute Real Madrid defense. Despite Kubo's disallowed goal and other close attempts, they were unable to breach Real Madrid's defense.
In the second half, Ancelotti introduced attacking reinforcements in Vinicius Junior and Fede Valverde to maintain control of the game. Antonio Rudiger's crucial block and Arrizabalaga's saves ensured Real Madrid held on for the victory, consolidating their position at the top of the table.
The match, rescheduled to aid Real Madrid's Champions League preparations, faced criticism from Real Sociedad's Kubo, who lamented the adverse effects of the sudden change. However, Real Madrid's focus remains on their pursuit of both the La Liga title and Champions League glory, aiming to secure a historic double.
