Real Madrid Faces Real Sociedad with Key Injuries in Final Match

Madrid, Spain — Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad on May 24 at 4:15 PM local time at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The match is significant as it marks the end of the La Liga EA Sports season.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti will be missing several key players due to injuries and suspensions, including Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham, who is serving a suspension.

Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is expected to start after a standout performance in the previous match against Sevilla, keeping a clean sheet. Given the absence of several defenders, the starting lineup is likely to consist of Lucas Vázquez, Asencio, Jacobo Ramón, and Fran García. This game may also be Vázquez’s last at home for Real Madrid.

In the midfield, Aurélien Tchouaméni is set to play as the pivot, accompanied by Federico Valverde and Luka Modric. Despite Rodrygo’s absence, Kylian Mbappé is expected to lead the attack alongside Vinícius Jr and Arda Güler, who returns to the starting lineup.

The match holds importance for both teams as they finalize their seasons. Real Sociedad aims to conclude their campaign on a high note, while Real Madrid looks to secure a strong finish after a season that didn’t see them win major titles.

This match not only marks the end of the season but also Ancelotti’s second tenure at the club, during which he has won numerous titles. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad seeks to bounce back from a disappointing campaign and regroup for the upcoming season.
