    First game of La Liga is this Sunday!

    Real Madrid play away to Real Sociedad at the Estádio Anoeta.

    Match time is 11:15 am Pacific time, 8:15 pm Madrid time.



    Luka Modric is suspended. Coentrao, Ronaldo, Pepe, Navas will not feature either. Benzema is a doubt for now.

    My predicted XI:

    Casilla

    Carvajal - Varane - Ramos - Marcelo

    Kroos - Casemiro - Isco

    Bale - Benzema - Asensio


    Lets get off to a flying start in La Liga!

    HALA MADRID

    I'm excited as hell for this game. Must get a win!

    Luka being out sucks.

    Looks like Benz might be out too :(

    Lets get some discussion going!

    I wish matches are a little earlier. Sunday late night matches and working on Monday is tough.

    Just want to say that this match will be the tenth year that I've been a Madrid fan. I started off with that legendary 06-07 campaign. I'll never forget it.

    So what's with Lord Keylor Ren? Is this the same injury that kept him out of the Copa America?

    Your own personal decima! Congrats!

    Yes he is still recovering from the Achilles injury, seems like everything is going smoothly he should be back soon enough.

    I'd like to see James start this. Isco has been not been very impressive this preseason.

    I know it won't happen but I'd rather see Mariano start over Morata. Morata has been so disappointing this preseason for me, guy just holds on to the ball too long for no reason.

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I can't wait for this season to start. Very excited for the new season. This match is going to be tough because of the absence of some key players.

    If Modric is out, I'd rather Kova start. James isn't a CM. Won't happen though and Isco will probably start ahead.

    That CR7 spot is probably Asensio or James though.

    He played as a CM successfully under Ancelotti and Zidane doesn't seem to ever put him on the wings. With Casemiro playing there should be enough defensive support, especially considering that Asensio and Morata defend more than Cristiano and Benzema.

    James is better as part of front 3 if we are going to play 4-3-3. Kova/Isco can replace Modric better in midfield. It should be a toss up between Asensio and James as Morata and Bale are definite starters. Bale is still not 100% so we can sub him early in second half if everything goes according to plan.

    James started in the midfield vs Reims, will probably do it again as Kovacic and Isco haven't convinced in preseason

    I cant remember exactly what it was but it was from last season. I'm going to assume yellow card accumulation from final game of la liga last year.
