Alright so here’s how I actually pulled together that Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad timeline. Started when I tried to remember exactly when they last played and what the scores were – total blank in my head. Figured I’d look it up properly instead of guessing.
Grabbed my laptop around 10 PM, cold coffee beside it. Opened way too many browser tabs like always. First search threw dates everywhere – some results looked recent, others super old and sketchy. Felt like untangling headphone wires.
Noticed three big matches kept popping up from last season. That September game in 2024 – kept seeing stuff like “Diaz injured” and “Vinicius won a penalty.” Took notes on a crumpled receipt first (real classy): Sept 15, 2024, away win for Madrid, 2-0. Both goals from penalties apparently, Vini and Mbappe scoring.
Then found this wild Cup game in April 2025. Holy smokes. Clicked through recaps feeling like I’d missed a thriller. First leg in San Sebastian: tight, cagey, only one goal in it for Madrid (1-0). But the return leg at Bernabeu? Absolute chaos. Kept reading phrases like “crazy 4-4” and “own goal disaster” and “Rudiger savior header.” Scratched down the dates: April 1st and 2nd, 2025. Total score over two legs? Madrid wins 5-4. Insane stuff.
Final league game came easier – end of season fixture. May 25, 2025. More straightforward this time. Remembered seeing highlights: Mbappe scored twice, once from a saved penalty rebound. Madrid wins 2-0 again.
Decided to chuck the receipt. Opened a spreadsheet. Looked too clean. Made it messy instead:
- Sept 15, 2024 (League): Real Sociedad 0 – 2 Real Madrid
- Apr 1, 2025 (Cup Leg 1): Real Sociedad 0 – 1 Real Madrid
- Apr 2, 2025 (Cup Leg 2): Real Madrid 4 – 4 Real Sociedad (Agg: 5-4 to Madrid)
- May 25, 2025 (League): Real Madrid 2 – 0 Real Sociedad
Stared at it. Simple. Exactly what I needed earlier. Didn’t bother with betting odds or squad lists – just the when and the score. Slammed the laptop shut before midnight. Satisfied. Next time anyone asks about these two? Got it ready.
