Real Madrid Beat Real Sociedad as Bernabeu Bids Farewell to Ancelotti, Modric

Real Madrid closed the season with a 2-0 win against Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu on May 24, 2025, in a match that also served as a farewell to coach Carlo Ancelotti and midfielder Luka Modric.
The farewell followed a season without major trophies and Ancelotti's announced departure to become Brazil's new national coach, while Modric plans to exit after the upcoming Club World Cup in the USA.
Ancelotti, the club's most successful coach, expressed pride and emotion in his final match, while Modric received a guard of honour and made an emotional speech thanking teammates and fans.
Kylian Mbappe scored both goals in the match, marking his 30th league goal this season, while the crowd gave Modric a standing ovation with chants and applause as he left the field in the 87th minute.
The match symbolized the end of an era for Real Madrid, with implications for a squad rebuild as Ancelotti leaves and Modric's departure follows, while the club finished second in LaLiga behind Barcelona.
