JOSE MOURINHO bowed out from the Bernabeu on a high with a 4-2 victory against Osasuna.
The Special One was taking charge of his last game as Real Madrid boss before his imminent return to Chelsea.
And his team conjured up one last win for him with goals from Gonzalo Higuain, Michael Essien, Karim Benzema and Jose Callejon.
Mourinho, who had earlier given a short goodbye statement on Real’s website, lurked in the tunnel as his players went onto the field for their final-day game.
His name was booed when it was read out before kick-off, but when he did finally appear he received a mixture of cheers and jeers.
One section of supporters held up signs reading: “Thanks for Everything Mou” and chanted his name.
