Real Madrid v Real Sociedad: mark your calendars for 24th May 2025 as the curtain falls on La Liga. The Santiago Bernabéu will roar once more as Real Madrid host Real Sociedad in what promises to be an entertaining finale. Kick-off across Europe is set for 16:15 CEST (Italy, Germany, France, Spain) and 15:15 BST in the UK.
After a season of ups and downs, Los Blancos will be keen to deliver one final statement in front of their home fans. Real Sociedad, eager to end on a high and secure their place in Europe, won’t make it easy. With pride and important league positions on the line, this match has all the ingredients for a thrilling finale.
How are both teams coming into this?
Real Madrid have endured a far from typical campaign by their lofty standards. Despite clinching the UEFA Supercup, they underperformed in La Liga and will finish four points behind champions Barcelona. With only pride left to fight for, the home side will be desperate to restore some confidence and send their supporters home happy.
Real Sociedad have enjoyed a solid season and can still secure a coveted European berth. Known for their dynamic attacking play and organised defence, they’ve picked up crucial points both home and away. Sociedad will fancy their chances of spoiling Madrid’s party and adding one more scalp to their resume.
Our forecast
We expect Real Madrid to dominate possession and press high, but Sociedad’s counter-attacks could pose significant threats. A tight first half may open up after the interval as both sides push for a decisive goal.
Overall, we’re backing a Real Madrid win with both teams finding the net. A 2-1 victory for Madrid looks the most likely outcome, but don’t rule out a lively contest with plenty of attacking intent on both ends.
