Without the league championship no longer suspense, the competition between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad at home is particularly eye-catching - this is the farewell battle between Real Madrid coach Ancelotti and midfielder Modric at the Bernabeu. TIFO prepared by Real Madrid fans for Ancelotti and Ahn Coach.

Just this week, An Shuai and "Magic Diary" confirmed to leave the team this summer. Real Madrid fans will of course be particularly prepared for these two achievements. Before the opening, the two men's huge TIFOs rose in the stands, and the two "Gracias (Thank you in Spanish)" told the fans' gratitude and reluctance to them. In the middle circle of the court, the huge No. 10 jersey was particularly eye-catching. His master wore the captain's armband to start the farewell battle.

Modric was substituted.

In the stadium, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad players lined up to pay tribute to the midfielder who ended the "last dance" of the Bernabeu.
