Real Madrid s LaLiga title defence got off to an underwhelming start on Sunday as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena.
Zinedine Zidane s men were belatedly returning to domestic action after their unsuccessful Champions League exploits at the end of last season and had Martin Odegaard in their starting line-up.
The 21-year-old was recalled by Madrid after spending the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Sociedad, yet his former side gave as good as they got in terms of genuine chances.
Although veteran David Silva – signed to replace Odegaard made his Sociedad debut from the bench after recovering from coronavirus, there was no breakthrough before the final whistle.
FT: 0-0 |
