That goal would be the difference between the two sides at the the interval.

Zidane made a change at the beginning of the second stanza, bringing in Luka Modric for James Rodriguez but it was Sociedad who found themselves 3-0 up courtesy of Alexander Isak’s quick-fire brace.

Marcelo pulled one back for Real minutes later but their hopes of a miraculous come back were dashed when Mikel Mirano scored Sociedad’s 4th in the 69th minute.

Two late goals by Brazilian starlet Rodrygo and Nacho were not enough as Zidane’s men were eliminated from the competition.
