Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad in their final home game of the season, with Kylian Mbappé scoring a brace to end the campaign on a high note. The win served as a fitting farewell for two Bernabeu legends: Luka Modrić, who received a guard of honor as he was substituted off, and Carlo Ancelotti, who departs to take over as Brazil’s head coach.
Mbappé’s Golden Shoe Ambitions
Mbappé’s two goals brought his league tally to 30, putting him in contention for the Golden Shoe award. His impressive form throughout the season has made him a key player for Real Madrid, and he will look to continue his goal-scoring streak in the future. The French forward has been in excellent form, finding pockets of space and sharp angles to create scoring opportunities.
A Procession of a Game
The match felt like a procession from the start, with Real Madrid dominating possession but struggling to create clear-cut chances. A soft penalty decision, aided by VAR, gave Los Blancos the lead, which Mbappé converted with ease. The second goal came in the 84th minute, with Mbappé smashing home a fine pass from Vinicius Junior.
Farewell to Modrić and Ancelotti
The game will be remembered more for the occasion than the result, with Modrić receiving a heartfelt farewell from the Real Madrid fans. The Croatian midfielder has been a key figure in the team’s success, and his departure will be felt deeply. Ancelotti, who has led Real Madrid to numerous titles, will also be missed by the fans.
A Quiet Affair
The match was relatively quiet, with La Real occasionally threatening but never truly looking like they would score. Arda Guler was excellent for Real Madrid, finding pockets of space and sharp angles, but it was Mbappé who stole the show with his two goals.
What’s Next for Real Madrid?
With Ancelotti’s departure, Real Madrid will look to regroup and prepare for the new season. The team will be looking to build on their success and continue to compete for top honors. Mbappé will be a key player in their quest for glory, and fans will be eager to see him in action again.
A Fitting Farewell
The win was a fitting farewell for Modrić and Ancelotti, who have both given so much to the club. The fans showed their appreciation for the pair, with Modrić receiving a guard of honor as he left the pitch. It was a classy gesture, and one that highlighted the respect and admiration that the fans have for these two legends.
