The French forward forced goalkeeper Alex Remiro into a mistake before rounding him, but he ended up firing wide from just six yards out.

Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was forced into a save with his leg to keep his side level when Alexander Isak ran through the visiting defence before taking a shot.

David Silva, who joined Sociedad this summer after a decade at Manchester City, almost enjoyed an ideal debut after coming off the bench in the 63rd minute, but his strike from the edge of the box was blocked by Raphael Varane.

Following the departure of Gareth Bale to Tottenham on loan, Zidane would have hoped for his side to get off to a winning start, but they were unable to capitalise on their possession.

However, the draw stretches Los Blancos' unbeaten run in opening league fixtures to 11, with eight wins and three draws.
