Kylian Mbappe virtually wrapped up the European Golden Shoe award with a brace as Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad 2-0 Saturday, on an emotional home farewell to Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric.
The Italian is leaving to coach the Brazilian national team, drawing a curtain on his second spell at the club where he won a 15 trophies during a total of six years in charge.
Croatian midfielder Modric will play at the Club World Cup for Real but this was his final game at Santiago Bernabeu.
He was given a guard of honour when replaced late on.
Real fans displayed banners showing their affection for Modric and Ancelotti and sang both names on an emotional afternoon for Los Blancos.
It was a profitable one too for Mbappe, who scored twice to take the lead in the Golden Shoe standings from Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres.
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah could yet claim the prize, if he scores four goals against Crystal Palace Sunday in the final round of Premier League matches.
Mbappe was denied early on by Unai Marrero and then fired another decent opportunity over.
Real goalkeeper Andriy Lunin made a good save from Sergio Gomez, who should have scored as he ran clean through but his effort was tame.
Pablo Marin handled as Arda Guler tried to flick the ball past him and Real were awarded a penalty after a Video Assistant Referee review.
Mbappe's poor penalty was saved by Marrero but the French superstar turned home the rebound for his 30th league goal.
Ancelotti brought on Vinicius Junior after an injury to Brahim Diaz, who picked up a knock as Real looked to sign off a disappointing season, without winning a major trophy, in style ahead of the Club World Cup in the United States.
Real wide man Lucas Vazquez, out of contract this summer after spending his whole career at the club, bar one season on loan at Espanyol, was given an ovation as he was substituted.
Mbappe netted his second after Vinicius teed him up to move six goals clear of Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski in the battle to be LaLiga top scorer.
Many at the Bernabeu were in tears when Modric departed late on, embraced by former Real midfield partner Toni Kroos on the touchline.
Real finish the season second in LaLiga, behind champions Barca, who also beat them in the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup finals.
The champions face Athletic Bilbao Sunday in their last LaLiga game.
