Real Madrid already wins even through inertia. Such is the state of grace of the leader that even without much in dispute, since the League title is a matter of time since the white victory in the Bernabéu classic, and with a rival like Real Sociedad, who is still playing nougat in the championship, was able to take the three points from Anoeta in a highly effective exercise. The white team had a clear chance, and they materialized it through Arda Güler, an interesting precocious talent deprived of opportunities who insists on taking advantage of the slightest loophole to demand them.
The truth is that they did not create much danger either, since the tactical behavior of their second unit was of marble solidity. The substitutes used the opportunity correctly and allowed Ancelotti's team to take another step towards success without any wear and tear three days before the first round of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.
After the tribute in the preludes to a football magician like David Silva, a generous dose of good football could be expected, but the issue remained a closer dispute than anything else. And the game started cheerfully, with Madrid somewhat relaxed and Real willing to take advantage of the white rotations to consolidate sixth place under the intense San Sebastian rain.

Incidents:
Matchday 33 of the League played in Anoeta before 37,109 spectators.
As it was, the enthusiasm of 'txuri urdin' put the leader behind, who was too subject to Real's ball control. Imanol Alguacil's team threatened with a Kubo shot off the post, well resolved by Kepa, who had not been seen in action since January. However, he lacked inspiration in the last pass to hit an opponent who barely appeared in the rival area in the first half.
Strike and defense
Turrientes, with the squad in his sights from the front, shook the tree again without much response from Madrid. The League's homework is done, a Champions League semi-final against Bayern is approaching and it shows. Nothing seemed to indicate a goal for Ancelotti's team, but they are a team that specializes in discussing the foreseeable, as demonstrated by the young Güler, who did not miss the opportunity to shine to finish off a good delivery from Carvajal from the right side.
The unexpected advantage could have lasted a sigh for Madrid if the VAR did not intervene to annul a goal by Kubo due to a previous foul by Barrenetxea on Tchouaméni. Despite this push after the goal, the blow took its toll on Real with much more difficulty finding their way to Kepa's goal. With no further news of the 'txuri urdin' attack until half-time, it was a very simple task for Madrid to protect the advantage.
La Real, much more in need of points than its rival, went one step further at the beginning of the second half, with another good shot by Turrientes well solved by Kepa, who had quick reflexes down low. Despite this good performance by the San Sebastian team, Madrid was skilled at containing any threat of reaction from controlling the match. He knew how to suffer to resist an advantage threatened by the goal disallowed by Merino for offside and a good chance by Oyarzabal when the clock was pressing on the Basque team. And Ancelotti did not hesitate to make defensive changes to retain a victory that leaves Madrid's alirón within reach of a victory against Cádiz if Barça fails against Valencia or Girona.
