Real Madrid took part in the tribute that Real Sociedad paid to David Silva before the match. Both teams formed a guard of honour to welcome the ex-footballer, who took the ceremonial kick-off at the Reale Arena. Silva retired from professional football on 27 July last year after a 20-year career. The Canary Islander was a key player in the Spanish national team (with which he won two European Championships and one World Cup) and played for Valencia, Eibar, Celta, Manchester City and Real Sociedad.
