Real Madrid shrugged off the absences of Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo to take an accomplished victory at Anoeta, as Real Sociedad were downed 3-0 in the opening game of La Liga.
The Blancos waited just two minutes to open the scoring, as Gareth Bale powered home a header to convert Dani Carvajal’s cross.
And Marco Asensio doubled the lead with another memorable goal from the youngster, chipping Geronimo Rulli before Bale swooped in the final minute to seal an impressive result.
