While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/kylian-mbappe-poor-start-real-madrid\/\">Kylian Mbappe&#8217;s arrival<\/a> has added individual firepower, Madrid, as a unit, look unfinished. Los Blancos are trailing La Liga leaders Barcelona by three points and only managed to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/atletico-vs-real-madrid-highlights-champions-league-last-16\/\">nerve-wracking shootout win<\/a> over Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>In their previous meeting, Mbappe and Co. came from behind to secure a 3-2 victory over Leganes at the Bernabeu. The French No. 9 scored a brace (32&#8242;, 76&#8242;), with Jude Bellingham (47&#8242;) joining him on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Madrid&#8217;s Recent Form (Last 5 Games)<\/strong>: W-W-L-W-W<\/p>\n<h3>Real Sociedad<\/h3>\n<p>Real Sociedad have suffered a brutal fall from grace in the 2024-25 campaign. Instead of fighting for a top-four spot, La Real have barrelled down to 10th place in the La Liga rankings, trailing fourth-placed Athletic Club by 15 points after 29 matches.<\/p>\n<p>Real Sociedad have endured a horrendous few weeks, failing to win a single game between 26 February and 16 March. They lost four times and played out two draws in that span, with the Europa League elimination to Manchester United (5-2 on aggregate) marking their lowest point.<\/p>\n<p>Imanol Alguacil&#8217;s team, however, will come into the 2025 Copa del Rey semi-final second leg in better spirits. They secured a 2-1 win over bottom-placed Real Valladolid in their previous outing, with Mikel Oyarzabal (23&#8242;) and Sergio Gomez (68&#8242;) jumping on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sociedad&#8217;s Recent Form (Last 5 Games)<\/strong>: W-D-L-L-D<\/p>\n<h2>Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Team News, Injuries<\/h2>\n<h3>Real Madrid<\/h3>\n<p>Carlo Ancelotti will be without Dani Ceballos (knee), Eder Militao (ACL), Ferland Mendy (leg), and Dani Carvajal (ACL).
