Real Madrid will host Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabéu in what promises to be an emotional end to their 2024–25 LaLiga season. While the team has no titles to celebrate this year, the occasion is significant for another reason — it marks the farewell of two legendary figures at the club: Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric.

The Italian coach, who guided Real Madrid through multiple trophy-laden campaigns, will be managing his final game in white. Alongside him, Luka Modric — the Croatian midfield maestro and one of the club's most reliable performers for over a decade — will also make his final appearance before stepping away from Valdebebas. At nearly 40 years old, Modric’s exit paves the way for a new era at the club, one that will soon be led by Xabi Alonso starting with the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Despite a long injury list that includes names like Militao, Alaba, Carvajal, Rodrygo, Rüdiger, Mendy, Camavinga, Endrick, and Bellingham, Real Madrid is expected to field a competitive lineup. The projected starting XI features Thibaut Courtois in goal, with a backline of Lucas Vázquez, Vallejo, Jacobo, and Fran García. In midfield, Federico Valverde and Tchouaméni will support Luka Modric in what could be his final masterclass, while the attack will include rising star Arda Güler, Vinicius Jr., and the recently signed Kylian Mbappé, expected to make a major impact.

The Real Sociedad side also enters this match on an emotional note, as long-time manager Imanol Alguacil prepares to take charge of his 330th and final game with the club. Appointed in 2018, Alguacil has been instrumental in maintaining the team's top-flight competitiveness and leaves behind a legacy of tactical discipline and consistency. “The Madrid players will want to win for Ancelotti and Modric — but I also want to win, it’s my final match,” said Alguacil in his pre-match press conference.

Real Madrid has a dominant record over Real Sociedad in recent encounters, with six wins from the last ten matchups across all competitions, including a vital victory in the Copa del Rey semifinals. However, the San Sebastián squad remains dangerous and will be looking to spoil Madrid’s farewell party. Their expected lineup includes Alex Remiro in goal, with defenders Aihen Muñoz, Zubeldia, Elustondo, and Traoré. In midfield, Pablo Marín, Zubimendi, and Brais Méndez will provide balance, while the attack will feature Takefusa Kubo, Mikel Oyarzabal, and Ander Barrenetxea.

Although the match doesn’t influence the title race, it will undoubtedly be one of the most watched of the weekend due to its symbolic importance. Fans are expected to fill the Bernabéu to give a heartfelt send-off to two club icons. As Madrid prepares for a new era, this fixture serves as a reminder of what the team has achieved — and what it stands to become in the seasons ahead.
