Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid live stream: how to watch Copa del Rey semi-final 1st leg online and on TV

The Basque club hit the woodwork three times in their previous meeting this season, only for Real Madrid to snatch all three points with a pair of penalties. Imanol Alguacil's men are in superb form, at Reale Arena in particular, where they've won five in a row and 11 of 13, with former Blanco Takefusa Kubo hitting a purple patch.

Carlo Ancelotti is without two key men in Kylian Mbappe and Thibaut Courtois, so Jude Bellingham's return couldn't have been timed better. His midfield battle with Martin Zubimendi may well shape tonight's game.

Here's where to watch Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid live streams online from anywhere, including free options.
