Real Madrid close the curtain on a turbulent season by hosting Athletic Club at the Santiago Bernabéu in Matchday 38 of La Liga.

The match will mark the farewell of Álvaro Arbeloa, Dani Carvajal and David Alaba, who will all leave the club after the season.

Valverde and Arbeloa say goodbye

Both Ernesto Valverde and Arbeloa are set to manage their final matches with Athletic Club and Real Madrid respectively.

The Madrid coach leaves after a disastrous campaign in which the club failed to win silverware, suffered dressing-room controversies and saw rumors intensify around a possible return of José Mourinho.

Meanwhile, Athletic Club end an inconsistent season after falling short of European qualification and suffering a painful Copa del Rey elimination against Real Sociedad.

Carvajal and Alaba symbolize the end of an era

Although both players leave with multiple trophies, the departures of Carvajal and Alaba represent the beginning of a major rebuild at Real Madrid.

Madrid’s defense faced heavy criticism throughout the season after conceding the same 33 goals as champions FC Barcelona.

The club also still has not officially confirmed who will become the next permanent manager.

Rumors and tension surround Real Madrid

The atmosphere around Real Madrid remains extremely tense after weeks filled with dressing-room conflicts, controversies involving Kylian Mbappé, internal disputes and criticism directed at the board led by Florentino Pérez.

Because of that, the clash against Athletic Club also serves as the symbolic end of one of the most chaotic seasons the club has experienced in recent years.
