'Don't cry because it's over,

but smile because it happened.' I'm leaving here with great satisfaction. It's an honor and a joy to be a member of this family, to make history here and to be part of it." This is how Luka Modric expressed his feelings as he played his last match at the Santiago Bernabeu. Coach Carlo Ancelotti tried in vain to hide his tears with a smile on his face, remembering his personality and the club's history-making memories. The spectators present at the Bernabeu, including long-time disciple and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, were also crying.

Farewell - Modric

The farewell is practically for legendary coach Carlo Ancelotti. He is leaving Real Madrid completely to join the Brazilian national team. On the other hand, Luka Modric was playing his last match for the club at the Santiago Bernabeu. He will play his last tournament in the Los Blancos jersey in the upcoming Club World Cup. Yesterday, the entire Bernabeu was ready for Ancelotti's farewell ceremony. Lucas Vásquez also said goodbye silently. Legendary midfielder Toni Kroos also appeared directly at such an emotional moment.

Real Madrid played their last match of the season in La Liga yesterday (Saturday). It was announced in advance that the coach who wanted to leave the club would be officially bid farewell on the same day. The match against Real Sociedad began in an emotional atmosphere. As the match progressed, everyone seemed to remember the farewell moments of Ancelotti, Modric and Vazquez. It would have been desirable for the Real team to give the coach a victory in his farewell match. That was achieved with a pair of goals from Kylian Mbappe. Sociedad lost 2-0.

Ancelotti is the most successful

coach in the club's 123-year history. He took charge of the dugout on two occasions. In total, he has won 15 titles for Real. In this colorful chapter, the Italian coach of Real has won three Champions Leagues, two Club World Cups, three European Super Cups, two La Liga, two Copa del Rey, two Spanish Super Cups and one Intercontinental Cup.

In his farewell speech after the match, Ancelotti said, "I am very happy and proud, it has been a wonderful time. We cannot forget anything that has happened here during this time. I am leaving with the love of the people, with the pride of having coached a wonderful club for a long time. Real Madrid (for me) is like home, a family. It has been like that for six years. We have had a wonderful time, for the trophies, for the atmosphere here."

Modric, who joined Real from Tottenham in 2012

, has played a total of 591 matches for Los Blancos. During this time, he has won 28 titles, including six Champions Leagues. He will have the opportunity to increase that number in the Club World Cup. However, he will not be playing on his home field again. That is why he said emotionally at the end, 'I never wanted this moment to come. But it has been a long but wonderful journey. First of all, I would like to thank the club, the club president Florentino Perez. I would like to thank all the coaches and teammates I have had here who have always been with me and all the people who have helped me.'

Then Modric's final words were even more poetic

, 'Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Thank you to my family. We have won a lot, we have had many wonderful moments. You have given me so much love over the years. I don't know the words to thank you for what you have given me. I will tell you a saying that has stuck in my mind: 'Don't cry because it's over, but laugh because it happened.'"
