Real Madrid thrash Real Sociedad

By Daily Sports on February 11, 2018

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid thrashed Real Sociedad to warm up for Wednesday's Champions League tie with Paris St-Germain.

Ronaldo set up Lucas Vazquez to head a first-minute opener, then blasted home from Marcelo's cross.

Toni Kroos added a third before Ronaldo headed in Luka Modric's corner.

Jon Bautista pulled one back after the break, but Ronaldo scored his third from close range before Asier Illarramendi's volleyed consolation.

With Real Madrid long out of the La Liga title race - they are 16 points behind Barcelona even after this win - the Champions League is their last remaining hope for the season - and perhaps for Zinedine Zidane's job.

Real became the first team to successfully defend the Champions League last season, both successes coming in Zidane's two years in charge. But they have been poor domestically this season.

Zidane named a strong side against 14th-placed Real Sociedad, with only Gareth Bale and Casemiro rested from their last match, and he was rewarded with a good performance and result - a couple of defensive blips aside.

Real - who move up to third in the table - host PSG on Wednesday in the Champions League round of 16 first leg, with the trip to France not until Tuesday, 6 March.
