In what has been a rollercoaster season for both sides, the final matchday of La Liga 2024-25 sees Real Madrid host Real Sociedad at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu. Though the title is already wrapped up by Barcelona, there’s still pride, form, and European positions to play for.
Real Madrid entered this game with 81 points, firmly locked into second place, while Real Sociedad are still fighting to finish inside the top six, which could earn them a Europa or Conference League spot.

⚽ First-Half Match Summary: Mbappe Makes His Mark
From the very first whistle, the game had energy. Sociedad started with quick possession play, trying to break Madrid’s shape early. However, the host’s well-organized midfield, led by Camavinga and Valverde, prevented any clear chances in the first 20 minutes.
Then, the moment arrived.
🔥 Goal – Mbappe (27′)
Mbappe, who had been lurking on the left flank, timed his run perfectly as Valverde found him with a pinpoint pass. With two defenders closing in, Mbappe took one touch to control and calmly placed the ball past Alex Remiro into the bottom-right corner.
