Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad: A Season of Highs and Lows

The 2024–25 season witnessed several intense and emotionally charged encounters between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, culminating in significant moments for both clubs.

La Liga: Real Madrid 2–0 Real Sociedad

On May 24, 2025, Real Madrid secured a 2–0 victory over Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. This match was especially poignant, marking the final La Liga appearance for both Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modrić at the club. Ancelotti, who had managed Real Madrid to 15 titles, is set to take over as Brazil's national team coach, while Modrić, with 28 titles to his name, concluded his illustrious 13-season tenure with the club.

The match saw Vinícius Júnior open the scoring in the 58th minute, capitalizing on a penalty awarded for a handball by Real Sociedad's Sergio Gómez. Kylian Mbappé doubled the lead in the 75th minute, converting a penalty after a VAR review determined a foul on Vinícius by Jon Aramburu .

Despite Real Sociedad's efforts, including multiple shots hitting the woodwork, Real Madrid maintained control, with Thibaut Courtois making crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet.

Copa del Rey: Real Madrid 4–4 Real Sociedad (Real Madrid win 5–4 on penalties)

Earlier in the season, on April 1, 2025, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad faced off in a dramatic Copa del Rey semifinal at the Santiago Bernabéu. The match ended in a 4–4 draw after extra time, with Real Madrid emerging victorious 5–4 in the penalty shootout.

Real Sociedad took an early lead with Ander Barrenetxea scoring in the 16th minute. Real Madrid responded with Endrick equalizing in the 30th minute. The match saw further twists, including an own goal by Real Madrid's David Alaba and two goals from Real Sociedad's Mikel Oyarzabal. Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Antonio Rüdiger scored to keep them in contention. The decisive penalty shootout saw Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo convert their spot-kicks, while Álex Remiro saved Rodrygo's attempt, allowing Real Madrid to clinch the win .

Legacy and Farewell

The May 24 La Liga match was more than just a game; it was a farewell to two of Real Madrid's most influential figures. The Santiago Bernabéu crowd paid tribute to Ancelotti and Modrić, acknowledging their immense contributions to the club's success. Ancelotti's calm demeanor and tactical acumen, combined with Modrić's vision and midfield mastery, had been instrumental in Real Madrid's achievements over the years .

With Ancelotti's impending departure to coach Brazil and Modrić's retirement, Real Madrid enters a new era. The club's management and supporters now look forward to the future, building upon the solid foundation laid by these two legends.

Looking Ahead: Real Madrid’s Future Beyond a Historic Season

As the 2024–25 season closes, Real Madrid finds itself at a pivotal crossroads. The departures of Carlo Ancelotti, one of the club’s most successful managers, and Luka Modrić, a midfield legend, mark the end of an era. But if history has shown anything, it's that Real Madrid always reinvents itself.

New Leadership on the Horizon

With Ancelotti set to take over the Brazilian national team, speculation swirls over who will take the reins at the Santiago Bernabéu. The next manager will inherit a squad filled with both experience and youthful brilliance — a team capable of dominating Europe and La Liga alike.

A Squad Built for the Future

Real Madrid’s current roster is already loaded with talent:

  • Kylian Mbappé has proven himself to be a goal-scoring machine.

  • Vinícius Júnior continues to evolve into one of the world’s most dangerous wingers.

  • Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Eduardo Camavinga are ready to carry the midfield torch once held by Modrić and Kroos.

  • Promising youngsters like Endrick and Arda Güler offer glimpses of the club’s long-term future.

With the blend of world-class experience and rising stars, Real Madrid looks ready to remain a powerhouse in both Spain and Europe.

Champions League and Domestic Ambitions

After a strong La Liga performance and deep runs in cup competitions this season, the focus will be on reclaiming the UEFA Champions League title and defending domestic dominance. With the right leadership and tactical continuity, Real Madrid is poised to challenge for every major trophy once again.

Legacy and Renewal

While fans bid emotional farewells to legends, there is excitement about what’s to come. Real Madrid is more than any single player or coach — it is a club built on winning, reinvention, and greatness. The torch is now being passed to a new generation, and the world will be watching to see if they rise to the occasion.
