Reale Arena gears up to host Los Blancos!

The Reale Arena in Sociedad gears up to host the LaLiga 2025-26 matchday 4 fixture between home team Real Sociedad and Real Madrid.

Real Sociedad are winless so far in their first three games. After playing two draws, they suffered a narrow defeat against Real Oviedo in the last game. All eyes will be on key players like Mikel Oyarzabal and Carlos Soler to clinch the first win for Sociedad.

After a rare trophyless season in the last edition, the Los Blancos parted ways with Carlo Ancelotti, who found his new home in Brazil. After former Leverkusen gaffer Alonso took over, Madrid have won every single game so far in the Spanish top flight and are at the top of the Spanish top division.
