Once with the Epilogue on Saturday in Laliga, real madrid has closed a new galactic cycle. It was a historical day, not only by the sporting, but especially emotional significance, in which the Blancos fans have said goodbye to the most titled footballer and the most gallant coach in the history of the club. The captain Luka Modric And Carlo Ancelotti cried in the grass “Santiago Bernabeu”, and in the lodge, even the Florentino Perez's glacial could not abstain their tears, which ran rivers in the stands!
If at the end of more Blaugrana rivals they celebrated the event, Los Blancos lived a historic day instead. Not because, in the season of his debut in Laliga, Kylian Mbappe became the new Pichichi and, most likely, the winner of the Gold
The planets in the Blanca galaxy have lined up at the separation of two legends that will remain eternal in the memory of the Madrid. At the end of the match with Sociedad, decided by the “double” of Mbappe, the captain and the team teacher said good after writing history on “Bernabeu”. Luka Modric and Carlo Ancelotti had royal honors at the last appearance in front of their own fans.

“Do not cry that it is over, but you smile that it happened!”
The Croatian side really deserves to stop the match to make the honor aisle, to be thrown on the arms by those with whom he shared, in the locker room and the lawn, joys and sadness. Don Carlo, a lord to the end, also floated in the air, which never used the right hand, but held a lot of strong stars and characters, managing to trophy showcase.
“Don't cry because it is over, but you smile that it happened!” The message transmitted by the winner of the Golden Ball in 2018 photographed the end of an amazing era faithfully. Because the time has come as Modric to leave, Croatian being the last of the huge middle line that included it on Casemiro and Toni Kroos. What a big surprise the German made, present at the edge to embrace it at the exit of the field for the long -awaited Standing Ovation!
At almost 40 years old (when it has been so long?), Of which one third dedicated to Madrid, Luka leaves “Bernabeu” (will play at the club World Cup) with an unpaid trophies collection (28), including six champions! The Croatian is the Blanco marker the oldest and the oldest Madridist entered the field, dispossessing the Mitic Hungarian Ferenc Puskás! Luka Modric will remain one of the most valuable midfielders of this millennium. And it was missing from the CV only the world title.

In 590 matches, the decar lived countless matches to tell over the years to his three children, who, along with his wife, took the burden of separation from his shoulders. Sure, During the honor round of the temple that was a house for 13 seasons, Luka He carried out in front of his eyes quickly back all the epic reasons. Especially the one with PSGwhich he mentioned especially at the interview with real madrid TV.
Hundreds of T -shirts with 10 high fans in Modric's honor
Seeing all those emotional minutes, I would have liked the match with Sociedad to have lasted at least one hour. In order for Modric to say goodbye to as many fans who have idolized him as well as the young footballers who had him as a model of professionalism and seriousness. But also of modesty, proven when he left Mbappe's ball to score once again: “He quietly beats the penalty, an important personal trophy is at stake!”.
It is hard for you to stay untouched in the depths of your soul when 90,000 voices and hundreds of shirts with 10 on the back and Luka's name creates a unique show. Completing the scenography prepared in the stands with those two immense homage canvases and the messages on the TABs of the UFO in the Capital. How could it be more difficult was Ancelotti to choose his words in front of the microphone, just before leaving for Brazil.
It was exactly as he recognized at the last press conference. He was not ashamed that he cried, he wet his big eyes well and raised his left eye. Italian Carlo remained Don and never thanked for the privilege of being trained on real madrid. And not once, but twice, fundamentally contradicting the theory that a reheated soup does not fall well on the stomach!

Indigestion did only the envious, who marveled how Carletto (so wrote on the white cloth dedicated to the lawn) resisted 453 matches, of which 250 victories! Perhaps the only technician with a title won in each of the five top championships of Europe deserves a more glorious outing in the stage, perhaps with the Blanca career video designed on the panoramic tables.
15 trophies conquered by Carlo Ancelotti in 6 years at Real Madrid
But it was not disturbed that his withdrawal from “Santiago Bernabeu” produced modestly, without surge and trumpets, as it came every time. Don Carlo leaves in the back, in almost six years in total on the “meregues” bench, 15 trophies, including three leagues, and the record of the most medal coach Blanco.
The Italian, the only one with five “ear” erected after hanging his boots, called the clock, a year earlier than he wrote in the contract signed at the end of 2023.

The tears and emotions pushed in paroxysma faded the nights of the nights and the suffering of the periods in which Carletto was either inspired, or had to improvise the wrong (Lucas Vazquez knows best how much he suffered), or thought his tactics or even turned his back and luck.
And of the clouds of the disappointments of the last season, the rainbow ribbons ribbed above a “Bernabeu” in which real madrid He passed Luka And Carletto from the grass directly in the endless museum with trophies and memories.
There was also a deserving place for another captain Blanco, Lucas Vazquez. The last one to say goodbye to the club he spent 18 years old, but not the latter, in the beautiful story concluded in the temple in Madrid on the evening of May 24, 2025. With a Madrid hall, echoing more vibrant than ever and having the Modric gala poster, Ancelotti y Nada Mas. Gracias, Luka & Carlo!
