Real Madrid are back in La Liga with Real Sociedad. The team of coach Carlo Ancelotti won 0-2 at Elche and was largely due to Vinícius Junior. The Brazilian attacker thus gave a clear answer to his national coach Tite.

The Brazilian national coach took the remarkable decision not to include the attacker in his selection for the upcoming international matches. He preferred a few other players, including Ajax striker Antony. He also indicated that it was a difficult choice to make. "But the performances of Antony and Raphinha (Leeds United) were decisive for their selection."

The correct response from Vinicius followed, as after 22 minutes it was he who gave Real Madrid the lead against the number 15 of La Liga. He was given the space after a good ball from Mariano Diaz. The second also came after the break in the name of Vinícius, after a beautiful through pass by Luka Modric. Opponent Elche was at that time with only ten men on the field, after midfielder Raúl Guti received his second yellow card shortly after the break.

Against ten men it was still tense, when Real fumbled in the back - Casemiro played a ball wrong in the back and then last man Toni Kroos slipped - enabling Elche to make it 1-2 five minutes before time. The goal came in the name of Pere Milla, but would eventually have no consequences. Real took the win and won 1-2, putting it back together with Real Sociedad at the top of the Spanish league.
