José Mourinho is welcomed back to the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night, as Real Madrid face Real Sociedad in their opening La Liga home match of the season.
Mourinho’s second bite of the cherry started with a late victory at Espanyol, courtesy of Carlos Espí’s poacher’s finish. Familiar issues were laid bare for Madrid in Catalonia, but Mourinho would rather have to deal with such problems off the back of a victory than a disappointing draw.
However, Barcelona’s subsequent 5–0 rout of Elche highlighted just how tough it’ll be for Los Blancos to dethrone the back-to-back champions.
A tricky challenge awaits the hosts midweek, although Sociedad‘s campaign started with a slender defeat at Real Betis.
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side were among Europe’s in-form teams for a period last season, but an indifferent run-in meant they finished 10th. Still, victory in the Copa del Rey final over Atlético Madrid meant few could suggest it wasn’t a successful campaign for La Real, who have only won seven major honors in their history.
