The Santiago Bernab: The Santiago Bernabéubit bid farewell to two of the greatest icons to represent the club, Luka Modric and Carlo Ancelotti, as Real Madrid claimed a 2–0 victory over Real Sociedad in the final home match of the 2024-25 La Liga season here on Saturday.

Kylian Mbappé was once again the star on the pitch, scoring both goals, furthering his debut season tally. The Frenchman opened the scoring in the 38th minute, reacting quickest to convert the rebound after Marrero saved his initial penalty. In the 83rd, he finished a slick move with a precise left-footed strike after a brilliant assist from Vini Jr., bringing his tally to 31 goals in La Liga—enough to lead both the Pichichi race.

The match was lively from the start. Arda Guler, pulling strings in midfield, nearly crafted an early opener for Mbappé, only for the striker to be denied by Marrero. Real Sociedad responded through Sergio Gomez, but Andriy Lunin produced a key save to keep the score level. The breakthrough came just before halftime, following a VAR review that spotted a handball from Pablo Marín. Mbappé's penalty was saved, but he stayed alert to slot home the rebound.
