Kylian Mbappe scored twice and Luka Modric received a wonderful farewell as Real Madrid strolled to a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad that will be remembered more for the occasion than the result. Carlo Ancelotti was also able to deliver a victory in his final game in charge before he leaves the Liga giants and takes over as Brazil head coach.

Indeed, the game felt like a procession from the first minute. Madrid had nothing to play for, and it showed. They had most of the ball, without doing much with it and it was a stroke of luck that gave them the lead after a VAR-aided decision saw Los Blancos handed a very soft penalty. Mbappe stepped up, had his first effort saved but tucked the rebound home with ease - his 30th goal of the league season.

It was otherwise a relatively quiet affair. Madrid probed for opportunities, the excellent Arda Guler finding pockets of space and sharp angles. La Real, who benched some of their main men, occasionally threatened without ever truly looking like they would score.

Mbappe made it two after 84 minutes, smashing one in at the near post after a fine pass from the returning Vinicius Junior but the game will ultimately be remembered for the man who was subbed off late on, a guard of honour greeting Modric as he strolled off the Bernabeu pitch for the final time.

GOAL rates Real Madrid's players following their final game of the 2024-25 La Liga season...

  • Real Madrid CF v Real Sociedad - La Liga EA SportsGetty Images Sport

    Goalkeeper & Defence

    Andriy Lunin (6/10):

    Made one good save and pretty much had nothing else to do.

    Lucas Vazquez (6/10):

    In the XI for what will likely be his last game at the Bernabeu. Enjoyed a nice send-off from the home fans.

    Aurelien Tchouameni (7/10):

    A solid shift at centre-back, where he looks more and more comfortable. He will hope he won't have to play there much next season, though.

    Raul Asencio (5/10):

    Not the best afternoon at the back, as he was rather dragged around. He will have to fight for a spot next year.

    Fran Garcia (7/10):

    Sprinted up and down the right with ease, and got involved in some creative stuff, too. Is he first choice next year? Time will tell.

    Midfield

    Federico Valverde (7/10):

    Sat at the base of midfield in the first half, drove forward a bit more in the second. Spent a lot of his time dumping the ball off to Modric after winning it back.

    Luka Modric (7/10):

    Completed 106 passes, did some lovely stuff on the ball, and marked his Bernabeau finale with a wonderful send-off.

    Dani Ceballos (6/10):

    Made 18 passes into the final third but was badly exposed defensively at times.

  • FBL-ESP-LIGA-REAL MADRID-REAL SOCIEDADAFP

    Attack

    Brahim Diaz (6/10):

    Had some energetic moments, created a couple of chances, then exited due to injury.

    Kylian Mbappe (8/10):

    Buzzed around without Vinicius Jr, missed a penalty, but then grabbed his goal. Added a second goal to take his tally to 31 and is now pretty much assured of claiming the European Golden Shoe.

    Arda Guler (7/10):

    Found all sorts of pockets of space and created chances. He's got real attacking quality.

    Subs & Manager

    Jesus Vallejo (6/10):

    Another 40 minutes for the forgotten man.

    Vinicius Jr (6/10):

    On the ball a lot but did a good job of losing it in his half hour of action. Assisted Mbappe's second.

    Gonzalo Garcia (N/A):

    No time to make an impact.

    Chema Andres (N/A):

    Will be remembered as the guy who replaced Modric on his Madrid farewell.

    Carlo Ancelotti (8/10):

    Said goodbye to Madrid with three points. An appropriate scoreline for a club legend.
