MADRID, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Real Madrid came from behind to beat Real Sociedad 2-1 on Sunday as the hosts regained the top spot in LaLiga with their fifth consecutive win.
Carlo Ancelotti's side maintained their perfect league run to reach 15 points, two clear of second-placed Barcelona, who crushed Betis 5-0 on Saturday.
They had a lot of chances and the first one they had they scored," Valverde told the club's official media.
"The goals that I score and help the team to earn points, that's what makes me the happiest."
Real Madrid kick off their Champions League campaign when they host Union Berlin on Wednesday before visiting Atletico Madrid for their league derby.
