Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 5.30pm.

The Real Sociedad defenders don't seem to know how to defend against Vinicius. He is something of an unknown quantity. A wild card for Real Madrid. Might make an impact.

This is better from Real Madrid as they start to make an impression in the final third of the pitch, but they still look extremely vulnerable at the back. Sociedad will get more chances.

How did he miss? That should have been an equaliser for Real Madrid. Vazquez got the cross into the box, Vinicius unsettled the defence, but Benzema fires wide at the far post from about eight yards out.

Madrid all over the place! Once again, Real Sociedad manage to expose the Real Madrid defence, with Ramos coming across to stop Oyarzabal from finding Januzaj unmarked at the back post.

So how will Real Madrid respond to going behind so early on? They are zipping the passes around right now, almost as if they're re-assuring themselves of their superiority.

The home supporters at the Santiago Bernabeu are already restless, just a few minutes in this match. Marcelo was whistled there as he dribbled up the left wing. Strange atmosphere.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 0 Real Sociedad 1 (3 mins - Willian Jose pen). Real Sociedad take the lead at the Santiago Bernabeu! Jose steps up to the 12-yard mark and slams a finish down the middle of the goal, with Courtois diving the wrong way. What a start to this match. The pressure is really on Real now!

PENALTY KICK TO REAL SOCIEDAD! Wow! What a start! The away side are awarded a spot kick after just 80 seconds, with Casemiro clipping Merino in the box.

The pressure is on Real Madrid, but Real Sociedad are playing three attackers here. They have not come to the Spanish capital to sit deep and play for a draw, that's for sure.

The match is under way! It's Real Madrid against Real Sociedad in La Liga.

Okay, here we go. About to get started at the Santiago Bernabeu. Kick off is just seconds away.

A poor result here for Real Madrid would heap the pressure on Solari. He needs a win to prove his team are back on the straight and narrow again.

Not long until kick off at the Santiago Bernabeu. This has the potential to be a good game, but what sort of Real Madrid team will turn up?

With the exception of Vinicius, Solari has opted for experience, particuarly in the centre of the pitch where the familiar unit of Casemiro, Kroos and Modric has been restored.
