The last meeting between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad ended in a thrilling 4-4 draw.
Real Madrid will host Real Sociedad in their final LaLiga fixture of the 2024-25 season at the Santiago Bernabéu. With the home crowd behind them, Los Blancos will aim to close out a disappointing league campaign on a high note. Carlo Ancelotti’s side fell short in the title race and will be eager to end with a strong performance.
Real Madrid have struggled to find consistency this season, and this match offers a chance to regain some pride before the summer break.
Real Sociedad, sitting 11th in the standings, have delivered a largely underwhelming season of their own. With no European football on the horizon, they'll look to finish with a statement result. After playing out a dramatic 4-4 draw in their last meeting with Madrid, Sociedad will be confident in their ability to challenge the hosts once again.
