Atletico is also a tough club and rival to both Madrid and Barcelona. I wasn't surprised at what played out yesterday on the field because both clubs wouldn't accept defeat easily. Madrid should be able to win Real Sociedad tonight and it wouldn't be that tough for them because they have quality strikers.
Without a doubt the game between Madrid and Real Sociedad was very good, I liked the lineup of Madrid with Arda and Endrick, we did not see an Mbappé this time, I think they are taking care of him, even so they beat Real Sociedad who lacked better definition, they are things that pass, however there are still other return matches, and these are going to be very good, I consider that now the bears are getting good, in the case of Barcelona against Atlético they gave us a game perhaps the best I have seen this entire season, now they will play at the Camp Nou Stadium, it is good , I hope that the refereeing is like the previous match, although I saw that they forgave a penalty When they fouled a Real Sociedad player.
The combination of Arda and Endrick is indeed interesting but in the second leg I think Madrid needs to give a definite step in this match because it will determine whether to enter the next round by entering Mbappe the potential for victory is much greater, I think Ancelotti will take Mbappe for the second leg because if you look at the current aggregate it is too thin to take risks with the same strategy.
Victory in the second leg is very important so if you apply the same players I think it is too risky, but it can be an option only for the first half and the second half using its real strength, it should be remembered that Real Soicedad is very dangerous seeing the match in leg 1.
