Despite netting seven times the previous week, Reading were unable to register a goal in their next match as they lost 2–0 away to Ipswich Town with another former player, Stephen Hunt, among the scorers. Back at home for a midweek game against Blackpool, the side returning to scoring form with a second hat-trick in two home games for Le Fondre helping them to a 5–1 victory. Speculation arose that Reading's lack of activity in the transfer window was due to the ongoing discussions over the ownership of the club, with manager Nigel Adkins appearing to confirm the reports.

The next match for Real Madrid proved to be vital, as winning would allow them to top La Liga, something the Spanish giants have not done for 15 months, but would only occur if Barcelona and Atlético Madrid lose. They faced Elche at home, winning 3–0 with a golazo from Gareth Bale, who struck from thirty yards out, along with goals from Illaramendi and Isco. Madrid winning, along with Barcelona losing 3–1 to Real Sociedad and Atlético losing 3–0 to Osasuna, allowed Madrid to top La Liga by three points.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, February
Madrid's last match of February was the first leg of their last 16 Champions League clash against Schalke 04 away. The match turned out to be a seven-goal thriller for Madrid, as they won 1–6, effectively killing off the second leg and virtually guaranteeing Madrid a spot in the last eight of the competition. Braces were all scored by the returning Ronaldo, winger Bale and striker Benzema. However, a volley from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in the 90th minute denied Madrid a clean sheet, along with ending captain and goalkeeper Iker Casillas' record of going over 900 minutes without conceding.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, March
Real had a chance to extend their lead at the top of the table, should they win in El Derbi madrileño in La Liga against Atlético Madrid. Benzema scored early on to give Real the lead, before Koke equalised, slotting into the bottom left corner. Koke also assisted the second of Atlético's goal, which was scored by Gabi, who found the top left corner. Looking like a win for Real's bitter rivals, Cristiano Ronaldo scored and equalised and the game ended 2–2. Real gained a point and maintained the status quo at the top of La Liga, but now only carried a one-point lead over Barcelona.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, March

The win pushed Real three points clear at the top of La Liga, along with being four points above rivals Barcelona.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, March
Madrid had a chance to propel their lead over Barcelona, who had dominated the league in the previous seasons, should they beat Málaga. Barça suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Real Valladolid, and should Real win, the Madrid side would be seven points clear at the top over their fierce rivals. A strike from Ronaldo gave Madrid an early advantage, but many shots went amiss and the game finished in a close 0–1 victory to the Madrid side.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, March
Madrid subsequently hosted Schalke 04 for the second leg of their Champions League last 16 clash, with Madrid already boasting a 6–1 aggregate lead. A strike from Ronaldo just after the 20th minute gave Real the lead only for Tim Hoogland to equalize, and the teams went into half time at 1–1. Madrid continued to pile on the pressure and were ultimately rewarded after Ronaldo found the net again in the 74th minute. Morata scored another to end the game at 3–1. Winning at a combined score of 9–2 on both legs, Madrid progressed to the next round of the tournament


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, March
Madrid then hosted fierce rivals Barcelona, who were beginning to hit form and pile on the pressure to Los Blancos. In what could be called as one of the most entertaining Clásicos of all time, a seven-goal thriller was played. Andrés Iniesta gave Barça the lead in the seventh minute, before two strikes from Karim Benzema in under a minute gave Madrid the lead. Lionel Messi scored an equaliser, before Ronaldo gave Madrid the advantage netting home a penalty.

Messi equalised again after a challenge from Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, along with again netting home another penalty, which completed the hat-trick for the Argentinian, along with him breaking the record for highest goalscorer in El Clásico.

2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, March
Madrid then travelled to Sevilla, hoping to move up the La Liga table and keep pressure on their title rivals. Madrid found the net early, thanks to Ronaldo, before Carlos Bacca netted in just under 20 minutes. Bacca scored again in the 72nd minute, giving Sevilla the win and putting a dent in Madrid's title challenge.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, March
Madrid's final match of March was at home to Rayo Vallecano, a game which Madrid dominated, scoring five in the process. Ronaldo netted early, before right-back Dani Carvajal scored in the second half. A brace from Bale, along with a strike from Morata, gave Madrid another three points and off the back off some momentum after suffering back-to-back defeats and now host Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, April
Madrid began April by hosting Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final game at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Bale opened the scoring in the third minute, before Isco added another, with Madrid leading 2–0 at half time. Ronaldo added another before Madrid played calm and won comprehensively. The result required Dortmund to score four goals in the next round to progress further in the competition.

Madrid's fifth match of April was against fierce rivals Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey. Superstar Ronaldo was injured and unavailable for the game, but Madrid boasted a proud record, as they were the only side in the competition not to concede, and found the net early thanks to Di María. Heading into the late stages of the match, Marc Bartra scored for Barça, levelling the scores. As it looked like the match would be contested in extra time, a brilliant solo goal from Bale late on ensured Madrid the trophy, lifting their 19th Copa del Rey title.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, April

2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, April

The Whites dominated the entire game and scored four unanswered goals (Ramos and Ronaldo doubles), winning the semi-final matchup 5–0 on aggregate. Victory over Bayern meant that Madrid had defeated both finalists of the previous Champions League season en route to the final.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, May
In terms of league performance, May was somewhat a disappointment for Real as the team won only one out of four games and failed to clinch the title, finishing three points behind rivals Atletico Madrid and level on points with Barcelona but below on head-to-head tiebreaking criteria. As a result, Madridistas finished the season third, but in title contention throughout the season. Besides, Madrid scored the most goals (104) out of all teams in their league campaign and was second only to Barça on goal differential (+66 to +67).


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, May
The league fixtures of the month were a 2–2 home tie with Valencia (with a 90+2 equalizer from Ronaldo), a 1–1 away tie with Valladolid (with the home team equalizing late in the match), a 0–2 away defeat to Celta (that ruined Real's hopes for the title), and a 3–1 win over Espanyol on the last matchday.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, May
Winning a long-awaited La Décima would be much more than a perfect consolation for Madridistas and they ultimately brought a record-extending tenth European Cup title from Lisbon, although their path was anything but easy. Diego Godín opened the scoring for Atletico in the first half and the Madrid team was on the run to accomplishing their first continental double in history up to the injury time of the second half when Sergio Ramos scored an all-important head ball equalizer after a corner kick.


2013–14 Real Madrid CF season, Season overview, May
In the extra time, it was Real, Real, and only Real as Los Blancos obliterated the distraught rivals by scoring three unanswered goals (courtesy of Bale, Marcelo, and Ronaldo) and triumphed in the competition. Overall, Ronaldo scored 51 goals (31 in La Liga, a record 17 in the Champions League, and three in Copa del Rey) to become the team's top scorer for the fifth consecutive season.

2013–14 Real Sociedad season, Season summary, Participation in the UEFA Champions League
The Champions League had a bitter outcome for Real Sociedad. The first two matches were fairly balanced, but late goals in both games meant being bottom right before a double confrontation with Manchester United. As expected, Real Sociedad was comprehensively outplayed in both matches against the Red Devils. However, they only conceded one goal, in Manchester. With a single point after four matches, their chances of surviving this stage looked slim, eventually losing their last two matches.


2013–14 Real Sociedad season, Season summary, Copa del rey
Thanks to being in the Champions League Real Sociedad entered the second pot in the Copa del Rey. This meant they faced an opponent from Segunda División B or Tercera División in the round of 32.

Both sides played with many substitutes in their starting lineups. Real Sociedad went through on a 0–1 aggregate score. A bizarre tie against Racing de Santander followed. The Cantabrians refused to play the second leg unless their club’s governing body resigned. The match wasn’t played and Real sociedad advanced to the next round. Barcelona awaited in the semi-finals, in a prestigious tie that was eventually won by the Catalans. Refereeing in the first leg was surrounded by controversy.

Reaching the semifinals was the best performance in the cup since 1988.


2013–14 Real Sociedad season, Season summary, League
In the league Real Sociedad started slowly but stabilized in the sixth position in late November. Exiting European competition only helped the club, focusing efforts on domestic duties. The last game played in 2013 was the derby against Athletic Bilbao. Real Sociedad emerged victorious from a very physical battle. At that point it seemed like Real Sociedad would fight for fourth spot with Athletic Bilbao. An emphatic 5–1 demolition at the hands of Villarreal right after the derby created doubts.


2013–14 Real Sociedad season, Season summary, League, January and February
January and February were very positive and fourth spot still appeared attainable. The highlight of this period was the convincing 3–1 victory over Barcelona in Anoeta. This happened after Barcelona's controversial victory in the Copa del Rey and was seen by many as a revenge.


2013–14 Real Sociedad season, Season summary, League, March and onwards
