Real Madrid won 2-0 against Real Sociedad thanks to a double Kylian Mbappé. But most of the news was Modric and Ancelotti, as well as Lucas Vazquez, who will also leave after the Club World Cup, even if his departure has not yet been formalized (but it is acquired).
Florentino Perez reacts to the departures of Modric and Ancelotti
After the match, Modric and Ancelotti both delivered moving speeches to the Bernabéu public. After the match, rare were the spectators to have dry eyes; Among them, the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, was in tears, as filmed by the RMTV cameras.
Modric and Ancelotti both have a close relationship with Perez. It is therefore not surprising that he was moved after having seen them at the Santiago Bernabéu for the last time.
Point on Future projects of Modric and Ancelotti
Ancelotti's next destination is already known: he will take the reins of the Brazil national team in early June. An agreement has been concluded in recent weeks and it will remain at the head of the Seleçao to the 2026 World Cup.
For Modric, uncertainty is much greater. He should not miss offers this summer, but at this point, no decision was made regarding his next club – which is predictable since he will play Real Madrid until the end of the Club World Cup. He was mentioned to join the MLS, where he could join players like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets.
