David Beckham scored on his return to Real Madrid's starting
line-up in the 2-1 win over Real Sociedad on Saturday.
The 31-year-old equalised with a 25-yard free-kick in the
37th-minute of his first start since 20 December.
Madrid coach Fabio Capello had vowed Beckham would not play for
Real again after he last month agreed to a lucrative move to Los
Angeles Galaxy.
But Capello had a change of heart this week, saying he had been
impressed with Beckham's professionalism in training.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, another ex-Manchester United star, scored the
second-half winner in a victory that lifts Real into third place in
the Primera Liga.
It also eased the pressure on Capello after two consecutive
defeats.
