"For me, it was a yellow card; Mili [Eder Militao] was close, and the ball wasn't under control,"
"Watching the replay, I don't change my mind. I asked, he [the referee] gave me his explanation, and I wasn't convinced. I'll leave it at that. The context of the game changed, and we played with 10 men for 60 minutes. We had chances and scored the second [goal], to give ourselves a margin. The team knew how to sacrifice, they were generous in their effort. Winning at Anoeta is always very difficult, and today, if anything, it was even more difficult."
Real Madrid won 2-1 at Real Sociedad despite defender Dean Huijsen receiving a straight red card in the first half. Kylian Mbappé and Arda Guler scored either side of the sending off, and Mikel Oyarzabal converted a late penalty to make the finish nervy. The victory was Madrid's first LaLiga win after conceding a penalty and receiving a red card since March 2019. Manager Xabi Alonso disagreed with the red card decision but praised the squad's sacrifice and effort while playing with ten men for around 60 minutes. Madrid started the LaLiga season with four straight wins but emphasized continued improvement.
