Real Sociedad drop below Valencia to fifth after they were held to a 3-3 draw by Real Madrid. With nothing to play for and Ronaldo nursing a back injury, Mourinho gave a run out to several of his reserve players, but even so his team went ahead early on when Higuaín intercepted a poor clearance by Mikel González to run on and beat Bravo. The locals threw everything forward, Diego López having to make first class saves from Griezmann and Agirretxe amongst others, but twelve minutes in to the second half Callejón put the visitors further in front when he turned Kaká's cross past the keeper. Six minutes later Real got one back, Xabi Prieto firing home a penalty after Khedira cut out Chory Castro's cross with his arm in the area, and a few minutes later Griezmann made it all square after connecting with a centre from Carlos Martínez. Just two minutes after that Khedira combined with fellow countryman Özil to restore the lead, but with the game in injury time Xabi Prieto levelled the scores once again, bundling the ball in to the net after Diego could only push out his first header.
