Real Madrid ended their successful La Liga campaign with a goalless draw against fifth-placed Real Betis at the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos fielded a strong team against the Copa del Rey winners, ahead of their Champions League final against Liverpool next week in Paris.
Carlo Ancelotti's side had already wrapped up the La Liga title with four games to spare. As such, the Italian has had the opportunity to rest several key players in recent weeks in the leadup to the huge clash with the Premier League side on Saturday, 28 May.
The Galacticos will also have two more days of rest than their Merseyside opponents, who play Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
One Real Madrid player who was given the chance to shine against Betis was midfielder Dani Ceballos, who has found first-time appearances hard to come by this term.
The 25-year-old has played just 16 times for Madrid this season, after he spent the previous two years on loan at Arsenal.
Ceballos, who the 13-time European champions signed from Betis in 2017, was given a 20-minute cameo against his former club as he came on for Luka Modric.
The Spain international did little to impress however, with fans believing that his time at the Bernabeu may be up. Here are some of the best reactions to Ceballos' performance:
Carlo Ancelotti confirms Isco will leave Real Madrid
Following the stalemate with Betis, the Italian manager confirmed that attacking-midfielder Isco will leave the club once his contract expires this summer.
The 30-year-old Spanish international has played just 16 times this season, but was given a warm send-off by the Bernabeu crowd as he came on with just 20 minutes to go.
Isco has been a key member of the Galacticos squad for nearly a decade and was part of the side that won four Champions League titles in five years.
In total, the playmaker has played 356 times for the club and scored 53 goals. He has also won three La Liga titles, a Copa del Rey and four Club World Cups.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ancelotti said:
“Isco's career with Real Madrid ends today. And it's been a great career”
The Italian added:
“He surely could have done more but he's been important. I wish him the best”.
As of now, it is unclear as to where Isco is headed next after calling time on his Real Madrid stint.
