Real Madrid closed the season with a victory against Real Sociedad (2-0) in the official farewell of Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric from Chamart\u00edn<\/h2> \r\n

Real Madrid said goodbye to LaLiga EA Sports 2024\/25 with a victory against Real Sociedad (1-0). In an emotional day at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u for the official farewells of Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric, the ‘merengues’ closed the second cycle of the Italian coach with three insignificant points, since FC Barcelona sealed the league title a couple of matchdays ago<\/a>.<\/p>

A double by Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 allowed Madrid to seal their twenty-sixth victory of the championship against a Real Sociedad with a majority of substitutes. In addition, the Frenchman extended his lead as Pichichi over Robert Lewandowski, reaching 31 goals<\/strong> in the season (six more than the Pole), with which he assumes the lead for the European Golden Shoe.<\/p>

Modric and Ancelotti, protagonists of an emotional day at the Bernab\u00e9u<\/h2>

The ‘merengue’ board announced this week what everyone knew for almost a month: the farewell of ‘Carletto’ to the white bench after four seasons<\/strong> in which he won a couple of Leagues and the same number of Champions Leagues. The fans cheered the one who, from next Monday, will be the new coach of Brazil, dedicating a huge banner of gratitude.<\/p>

The same happened with Luka Modric<\/strong>. Although many thought that the Croatian would renew for another season, the club announced his departure after the Club World Cup<\/strong> and the fans did not stop cheering him throughout the day. It could also be the last match of Lucas V\u00e1zquez with the white shirt, although the board has not yet made his departure as a free agent official.<\/p>

Another who said goodbye on Saturday was the referee Mario Melero L\u00f3pez<\/strong>, after 11 seasons refereeing in Primera. The man from Malaga asked to referee the duel in Chamart\u00edn and had a quiet day, but not without controversy. <\/p>

The match, as expected, was open from the beginning, with nothing more than honor at stake. ‘Kiki’ had the first clear chance for the locals in the 6th minute, after a good one-two with Brahim D\u00edaz where goalkeeper Marrero avoided the ‘9’s goal with a great save.<\/p>

Real Sociedad responded with a good shot from Sergi G\u00f3mez that demanded Lunin<\/strong>, another who could have played his last match<\/strong> in Chamart\u00edn. The Ukrainian understands that, with Courtois physically fit, he will never have opportunities to play regularly.<\/p>

The match became a ‘merengue’ monologue after the first quarter of an hour, with the whole team turning the arrivals towards the left side, where Mbapp\u00e9 was looking again and again to open the scoring.<\/p>

In the 38th minute, Melero L\u00f3pez sanctioned a controversial handball penalty by Pablo Mar\u00edn<\/strong>, after a shot by Arda G\u00fcler hit his left hand. The ‘txuri urdin’ player had his arm tucked in, without increasing volume, but Figueroa V\u00e1zquez, from the VAR, considered that the hand was punishable.<\/p>

After the review on the monitor, the main one pointed out the penalty before the incredulity of the Donostiarras. The Bernab\u00e9u crowd clamored for Modric to take it, but Kylian did not heed claims and took charge of the shot<\/strong>. The Frenchman kicked across and Marrero contained the shot, but the rebound fell to the ‘9’ and he defined at will to the center of the goal.<\/p>

The second half was a formality for Madrid<\/h2>

At halftime, Imanol Alguacil, who was also saying goodbye to Real Sociedad on Saturday, tweaked his XI with the entry of Olasagasti for Pablo Mar\u00edn. Afterwards, other usual starters would enter, such as Zubimendi, Oyarzabal and Barrenetxea. <\/p>

However, the pace of the match dropped noticeably. Ancelotti had to put Vinicius in place of Brahim in the 55th minute<\/strong>, due to a muscle strain of the Moroccan. Vallejo and Gonzalo Garc\u00eda would also enter, the latter for Lucas V\u00e1zquez so that the fans could cheer the winger converted into full-back.<\/p>

Despite the entry of Vini, the locals created little danger in the complement. Real Sociedad, for its part, provoked a penalty in the 74th minute for a clear handball penalty by Fede Valverde, but the action was invalidated by a previous offside.<\/p>

Finally, in the 84th minute, came the goal of the sentence, again by Mbapp\u00e9<\/strong>. Vinicius drove on the left, filtering a precise pass for the ‘9’, entering the area, to take a placed left-footed shot to the base of the step, impossible for Marrero.<\/p>

Deserved farewell corridor for Luka Modric<\/h2>

Afterwards, in the 87th minute, Ancelotti put the youth player Chema Andr\u00e9s for Luka Modric<\/strong>. In a nice gesture, all the players of Madrid and Real made a corridor for the departure of the Croatian, with the Bernab\u00e9u surrendered to the ’10’. Luka left in tears, accompanied by his family and Toni Kroos, who also joined the tribute on the white bench.<\/p>

Melero L\u00f3pez only added one minute, giving rise to the subsequent tribute to Carlo Ancelotti. Madrid closes a very successful cycle with a disastrous season, but the fans thank the one who leaves as the most winning coach in the history of the club, with 15 official titles.<\/p>
