Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Preview, Odds, and Predictions- 24/05/2025

After a very underwhelming season by the glorious standard set by the Real Madrid legacy, they host Real Sociedad in the final game of the season at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium on 24th May.

With almost nothing to play for, Real Madrid will approach this fixture to give a fitting farewell to their manager, Carlo Ancelotti, who will leave the job at the end of the season and join the Brazilian national team as their head coach, leaving behind the custody of Los Blancos to former Real Madrid legend Xabi Alonso from the Club World Cup. On the other hand, the visiting team Real Sociedad will look to have a positive end to the season, which has been pretty underwhelming by the standards, too.

Real Madrid

Los Blancos will approach this fixture, not just as a farewell to their manager, but also as a farewell to some of the senior players who might not find a place in next season’s new setup. Newly declared manager Xabi Alonso is a name known involved football for involving young talent, and that we might see the end of veterans like Lucas Vazquez and maybe even Luka Modric.

New signings are coming in like Trent, Alexander, Arnold, and Dean Huijsen, who will play important parts in the upcoming season, especially on the defensive side of things, which has been a constant struggle this season throughout every campaign the club has played in. Kylian Mbappé will also fight for individual glory and try to win the Golden Boot in his very first season at the club, making his debut season one of the most successful seasons anyone has ever had at this historic club.

Real Sociedad

A season that looked initially very promising for the Basque side from San Sebastian, Real Sociedad, had quite an underwhelming season when you see the bigger picture. Their defeat in the semi-finals of the Copa Del Rey against Real Madrid was an absolute heartbreak as the fixture saw drama of the highest order, having made an almost successful comeback in the dying minutes of normal time.
