Mourinho's Return: Real Madrid Faces Real Sociedad at Bernabeu
26 Aug
Summary
- Real Madrid hosts Real Sociedad for their home opener after a narrow win.
- New signings Marc Cucurella and Yan Diomande may make their Bernabeu debuts.
- Mourinho returns to the Bernabeu as Real Madrid manager for the first time since 2013.
Jose Mourinho is set to manage Real Madrid at the Bernabeu for the first time since his departure in 2013. The club will host Real Sociedad in their 2026-27 La Liga home opener. Real Madrid secured a narrow 2-1 victory against Espanyol last Saturday, with a late goal sealing the win.
This upcoming match presents an opportunity for new signings Marc Cucurella and Yan Diomande to potentially make their debuts for Real Madrid. Manager Jose Mourinho will be looking for a more decisive performance from his squad in front of the home supporters.
Several players are vying for starting positions, including Diomande competing with Arda Guler, and Eduardo Camavinga challenging Bernardo Silva. However, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Endrick, and Raúl Asencio are unlikely to feature due to minor injuries. Real Sociedad enters the match after a loss in their season opener.
