Real Madrid concluded their 2025-26 season with a 3-1 victory against Athletic Club at the Santiago Bernabeu, marking a fitting farewell for players like Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, and Alvaro Arbeloa.

The match kicked off with an exciting pace, as the opening goal arrived just 12 minutes in. Dani Carvajal set up Gonzalo Garcia, who found the net, followed by a stunning strike from Jude Bellingham that doubled the lead from the edge of the penalty area.

Despite a spirited response from Athletic Club, with Gorka Guruzeta scoring in first-half stoppage time, Real Madrid quickly regained control.

The highlight came when Kylian Mbappe scored, marking his first goal in over a month. After receiving a pass from Alvaro Carreras, he executed a precise finish into the far corner, making it 3-1 for the hosts.

This victory, while not erasing a challenging season, allows Real Madrid fans to head into the summer with a sense of optimism.
