Champions Real Madrid were held to a goaless draw by Real Sociedad in their opening game of the La Liga season but looked short of themselves from their performance. The Zinedine Zidane’s side started their campaign a week later than other teams, having been in European action last month but looked short of their best from what we saw yesterday.

In that opening, ex-Manchester City midfielder David Silva made his Sociedad debut but was unable to create a goal. Real gave a second half debut to midfielder Marvin Park, who spent three years as a junior at Tranmere Rovers but now with them.
