Arda Güler scored a first-half goal to give a squad of Real Madrid substitutes a 1-0 victory over hosts Real Sociedad on Friday, bringing the La Liga leaders closer to enhancing their record and winning the title for the 36th time. With five rounds remaining in the season, Real Madrid’s points total rose to 84, extending their lead to 14 points over second-placed Barcelona, who will host Valencia next Monday. Coach Carlo Ancelotti rested several key players ahead of the Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich, and his players did enough to secure the three points. The winning goal came from 19-year-old midfielder Güler, who started for the first time with Real Madrid after joining from Fenerbahçe, converting a cross from Dani Carvajal into the net in the 29th minute.
