'After 13 years,' a decisive victory in his return match. Under Jose Mourinho's leadership, Real Madrid has successfully secured two consecutive wins since the start of La Liga.
On the 27th (Korea time), Real Madrid achieved a 4-1 home victory against Real Sociedad at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, Spain, in Round 2 of the 2026–2027 La Liga season.
Mourinho marked his first return to the Bernabéu in 13 years today. Star striker Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick, sealing Mourinho's first home win since his second appointment as Real Madrid manager.
Real Madrid deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation. Mbappé led the attack, with Vinícius Júnior, Jude Bellingham, and Arda Güler positioned in the second line. Federico Valverde and Bernardo Silva formed the midfield. Álvaro Carreras, Dean Huijsen, Ibrahima Konaté, and Denzel Dumfries made up the defense, while Thibaut Courtois guarded the goal.
The home side Real Madrid scored first. In the 40th minute of the first half, Mbappé received a forward pass from Valverde, beat one defender, and fired a powerful left-footed shot into the net. However, in the 44th minute, he conceded an equalizer to Luka Sučić of Real Sociedad, ending the first half tied at 1-1.
Real Madrid's firepower exploded after halftime. In the 15th minute of the second half, Mbappé exchanged a one-two pass with Bellingham in front of the goal, completely dismantling the opposing defense before calmly finishing to score his second goal and take a 2-1 lead.
Momentum carried Real Madrid forward. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Vinícius scored an additional goal after receiving a pass from Bellingham, widening the gap. Then, in the 35th minute, Mbappé received a forward pass from Vinícius, faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, and completed his hat-trick with a skillful lobbed shot, sealing the 4-1 victory.
After securing a narrow 2-1 away win against aespaño in the opening La Liga match on the 23rd, Real Madrid celebrated their home opener today with a spectacular goal fest, moving to the top of the league table alone with two consecutive wins.
This victory was particularly significant as it marked Mourinho's return to Santiago Bernabéu after taking charge of Real Madrid for the first time in 13 years. From 2010 to 2013, Mourinho led Real Madrid to three titles: La Liga (2011–2012), Copa del Rey (2010–2011), and Supercopa de España (2012). After stints at Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, AS Roma, Fenerbahçe, and Benfica, where he failed to win any trophies for two consecutive seasons, he returned to his former club.
With two opening wins, Real Madrid will host Málaga on the 31st at 12:00 a.m. to challenge for three consecutive league victories.
