Teams to hit the woodwork most in Europe this season...

As things stand, Real Madrid would remain third in the table - behind Barcelona on goal difference.

Atletico Madrid are five points clear with a game in hand.

Right, going to put those bins out. The black and green ones this week I think. See you in five minutes.

Real Madrid finally have a shot on target, with their 12th effort of the game. Luka Modric nutmegs a defender and then blasts in a shot from outside the box which Alex Remiro punches away.

Chance for Real Madrid on the left? No, Ferland Mendy commits a foul to give Real Sociedad a free-kick. Zinedine Zidane shakes his head.

Just remembered it's bin day tomorrow! Better go out at half-time to put them out.

Promising counter for Real Sociedad but Alexander Isak can't get a shot in. The move continues for another while but Madrid's defence holds firm.

I'm guessing a 'Paul Scholes v Bradford' might not be a universal reference for younger audiences. Sorry.

Real Madrid try a Paul Scholes v Bradford as Toni Kroos pulls a corner back to Lucas Vazquez, whose 25-yard volley is blocked.

Almost a lovely goal by Toni Kroos. Ferland Mendy controls a crossfield pass and plays it to Isco. He gives a first-time ball to Kroos, who glides past two defenders and then has his shot blocked.

Mariano is played down the right by a long ball from Lucas Vazquez. He does well initially, beating several defenders, but then hits a terrible shot miles wide of the far post. He definitely saw his moment of glory there.

Alexander Isak's free-kick isn't great but luckily it hits Casemiro's head in the wall and goes for a corner.

Real Sociedad have a free-kick in shooting range...

Real Madrid have has six shots to Real Sociedad's one. But the visitors have had the only one on target.

Casemiro has another crack from 25 yards. He keeps this one down but it's just wide.

A goal is coming.

It's all Madrid at the moment, it's an impressive performance. Casemiro lashes one over the bar from 25 yards.

Real Madrid hit the crossbar again with a header! The corner comes in and Raphael Varane's looping header clips the top of the bar. Keeper probably had it covered.

Real Madrid go so close. Lucas Vazquez lifts in a brilliant cross which Mariano heads off the crossbar from about four yards out under big pressure from a defender. Marco Asensio flicks the ball up a couple of times and has a shot deflected wide.

Methers: My thoughts are that this is the worst Real Madrid team for donkeys years
