Real Madrid managed to repeat their start to last season by winning four games in a row, with the latest victory against Getafe in a reverse where Joselu scored his first goal since returning to the club.
It took the hosts extra time for Jude Bellingham to score to reignite the argument that Los Blancos need a striker, with Vinicius Junior already out injured.
However, there has been good news for Carlo Ancelotti as Dani Ceballos and Ferland Mendy are back in the squad having recovered from injuries.
Despite being unbeaten at home in their last six games, Madrid have gone three games by conceding a goal here while managing just one goal in their last seven games with Real Sociedad, winning 3, drawing two and losing two.
Tonight, Ancelotti has been forced to start with a 4-3-1-2 formation where Rodrygo and Joselu are in attack, while Jude Bellingham is behind them.
On the other side, Sociedad started with a classic 4-4-2 formation with Kubo and Oyarzabak attacking.
