Day of Large this Saturday on the side of Real Madrid. Last championship match this season with the reception of Real Sociedad (4:15 p.m., 38th day). But above all last appearance of two Madrid figures that will leave the club in the days and weeks to come. Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric will go this summer to new adventures. In the meantime, the Italian coach has chosen to start the Croatian as well as Kylian Mbappé.
With twenty-nine goals on the clock, Le Bondynois is almost guaranteed to finish “Pichichi” from La Liga. Robert Lewandowsi, his first pursuer, is four goals behind. Probably too much to hope to catch up with Kylian Mbappé. The former PSG will also do everything to mark even more to afford the title of Golden Soulier. But also and above all to allow Real Madrid to win and sign around twenty-sixth success in the championship this year.
Carlo Ancelotti therefore chose to give a final gift to Luka Modric by aligning him from the outset. While he would have liked to stay a year more among the Merengue, the 2018 Golden Ball announced on his networks this Thursday that he would leave Madrid after the Club World Cup. But this Saturday, it is his very last in the Bernabeu that the former Tottenham will live. A great moment of emotion in perspective.
Mbappé and Modric holders, Vinicius on the bench
As for “mister”, he will fold up to take the direction of the Brazilian selection. A major challenge with the 2026 World Cup looming. In the meantime, he has therefore unveiled his latest eleven against Sociedad. Courtois will be left on the bench for the benefit of Lunin. Tchouameni will help his defense comrades, associated with Asencio in the axis.
Rodrygo is not on the match sheet, while Vinicius Junior will start in a replacement role. In the middle, Valverde, Ceballos and Güler will surround Modric. Mbappé will be associated with Diaz in attack.
