Kubo performed a Knee -Slide after 'changing' his mind about celebrating goal against former club Real Madrid


On Tuesday night, the Japan international played a crucial role in their 2-0 win over former club Real Madrid, scoring the opener after some slack defending from the away side.

As you can see in the footage below, Eder Militao crumbled under Sociedad's high press with a poor pass to back pass to Thibaut Courtois, allowing Kubo to capitalise from close range.

After peeling away from the Belgian goalkeeper, it initially looked like Kubo would refrain from celebrating against his old side.

But the 21-year-old changed his mind and performed a knee-slide instead.

Watch video below...

 "Take Kubo with no celebration against his former side and then a change of heart," the ViaPlay Sports commentator said. "He slides along the ground just as he slid in to take the ball away from Courtois."

After joining Real Madrid from FC Tokyo in 2019, Takefusa Kubo only managed to make four appearances for the club during his three-year tenure, before he was shipped out on loan to Villarreal, Getafe, and Mallorca.

After an impressive loan spell at Mallorca last season, the highly-rated winger Takefusa Kubo signed a five-year contract with Real Sociedad during the summer, while Real Madrid retained 50% ownership of his contractual rights. 

Kubo has been a crucial player for Imanol Alguacil's team this season, scoring eight goals in 39 appearances for the Txuriurdin.
