A will reinforced by the last of Carlo Ancelotti. After years of good and loyal service, the Mister played his last match on the White House bench and all the supporters present at the Santiago-Bernabeu paid him a vibrant tribute. It was the same for Luka Modric who wore the Madrid tunic for the last time in her career.

Presenting themselves with a slightly altered team, the men of the Italian coach therefore wanted to extend the party on the field. Very offensive, the teammates of Brahim Diaz obtained the first opportunities of the match. In legs, and wishing to run for the European gold shoe, Kylian Mbappé lit the first wick of the meeting, but the player trained in Monaco came up against the Basque goalkeeper, vigilant on this striking at close range (7th). And despite the response of Sociedad (9th), it was clearly Madrid who dominated the debates in the first period. Accelerating after the time of play, the locals found the fault just before the break.

A few minutes later, Luka Modric was released for the last time in his career in the colors of Real Madrid and benefited from a standing ovation of the Santiago-Bernabeu.
