This is the start of our live coverage. Stay tuned for the real-time updates, live scores and more.

Real Madrid is currently in blistering form, riding a five-match winning streak in La Liga under Alvaro Arbeloa. They sit 2nd in the table with 57 points, just one point behind leaders Barcelona. Led by Kylian Mbappe’s league-high 23 goals, the Los Blancos are relentless in their pursuit of the title.

In a stunning Copa del Rey semifinal first leg, Atletico Madrid humiliated Barcelona 4-0 at the Metropolitano. Diego Simeone’s men produced a clinical first-half blitz with goals from Griezmann, Lookman, and Julian Alvarez, following an early Eric Garcia own goal. Barcelona’s misery was compounded by García’s late red card.

The whistle has blown at the Reale Arena, and we are under way. Real Sociedad has wasted no time in their mission to disrupt the giants, immediately looking to dictate the tempo and starve Real Madrid of the ball.

The home side is employing a suffocating high press, desperate to set an early pace and snatch a quick opener.

Boom and Real Madrid take the lead just like that. Gonzalo Garcia with a clean finish and even Thibaut Courtois couldn't believe it. Sensational start from Real Madrid.

Drama at the Bernabeu. The referee has pointed straight to the spot after a blatant challenge inside the box. Real Sociedad have been handed a golden lifeline to pull level, and the atmosphere in the stadium has turned electric with nerves.

And Mikel Oyarzabal converts the penalty with calm and ease.

Real Madrid go from 1-1 to 3-1 up against Real Sociedad as Vinicius Jr first converts a penalty in the 25th minute and 6 minutes later, Federico Valverde scored an absolute stunner to put Los Blancos 3-1 up.

The 4 minutes of added time has ended and Real Madrid find themselves 3-1 ahead against Real Sociedad.

Seems like a walk in the park now for Real Madrid as they go 4-1 up through another successfully converted penalty from Vinicius Junior. The Los Blancos are cruising now.

They will spend the next 2 days at the top of the table until Barcelona's next meeting against Girona on February 17.

Less than 30 minutes remain before the Madridistas claim yet another home victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.

From the opening whistle, it was a display of absolute authority by Los Blancos, who turned an entertaining start into a one-sided masterclass. Real Madrid were clinical in every department, ruthlessly capitalizing on their opportunities to impose their will on a struggling Real Sociedad.
