Real Madrid host Real Sociedad to conclude their underwhelming La Liga campaign on a day of farewells at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Carlo Ancelotti‘s successful second stint at the helm draws to a close on Saturday ahead of his venture with the Brazilian national team, and Madrid are expected to imminently appoint former midfielder Xabi Alonso as the Italian’s replacement.
Much was expected of Los Blancos this season after they secured the double last term, and while blockbuster summer arrival Kylian Mbappé has scored goals for fun during his first season in Spain, Madrid have struggled to coalesce as a collective. As a result, they‘ve been bested by a majestic Barcelona team in La Liga.
Still, Madrid will want to wrap up Ancelotti’s reign with victory against a Real Sociedad team that have also disappointed this season. The visitors are parting ways with their manager this weekend, as Imanol Alguacil announced last month that he’ll be stepping down at the end of the season following a six-and-a-half-year reign.
They enter the final day 11th in the table, while second-place Madrid are four points adrift of the champions.
Here is guide to this final-day La Liga clash.
