According to Yahoo Japan, La Liga side Real Sociedad lost 4-1 away to Real Madrid on the 26th, with Japanese international midfielder Takefusa Kubo, who plays for the team, suffering defeat alongside his side. Kubo started on the right wing for the second consecutive game and provided the final pass to Spanish international forward Mikel Oyarzabal in the 11th minute to create a chance, but his performance was flat thereafter, and he was substituted in the 74th minute. Real Sociedad were passive against their strong opponents, and French international forward Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick as the team suffered their second consecutive defeat.
Spanish media outlet ELDESMARQUE gave Takefusa Kubo a rating of 4 in its player ratings, writing: "Almost no presence. Although he drifted into the center, he neither had opportunities to get on the ball nor was he used as a key player. The team barely attacked down the right wing throughout the first half." Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo stated: "As the game progressed, his performance clearly declined."
Takefusa Kubo's form was also less than ideal in Real Sociedad's opening match of the season against Betis on the 21st, and he was criticized by local media for "lacking ideas." Real Sociedad's next match will be against Espanyol on the 29th, the team's first home game of the season, and Takefusa Kubo is expected to show his true potential.
