Real Madrid wrapped up a turbulent 2024/25 La Liga campaign with a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu.
It was an encounter charged with emotion as Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric marked their final home appearances.
While Los Blancos underwhelmed in the league this season, the evening belonged to the legends.
Ancelotti, taking charge of his last home game before assuming the Brazil national team role, started both Modric and Lucas Vazquez in their Bernabeu farewells.
The match also served as Kylian Mbappe’s golden opportunity to clinch the European Golden Boot, and he delivered.
Mbappe broke the deadlock just before halftime, converting the rebound after his initial penalty was saved by Unai Marrero.
He sealed the result in the 83rd minute, smashing home a second from Vinicius Junior’s assist, taking his La Liga and tally to 31 and putting the Golden Boot firmly in his grasp.
