Jose Mourinho has ended his time at Real Madrid on a winning note as they overcame Osasuna 4-2 at the Bernabeu in La Liga this afternoon.
Madrid took a two-goal lead into half time but soon found themselves back level after a spirited comeback from the visitors.
Karim Benzema struck 20 minutes from time to restore the lead, while Jose Callejon added the fourth late on to secure all three points for the hosts in Mourinho's final match in charge.

The game's first real chance came just before the half-hour mark when Luka Modric drove into the box before shooting from close range, only for Ruben to get across and make a fine challenge.
Osasuna had a chance of their own soon after as Timor fired goalwards, but Jesus Collado made the save for Madrid.
The hosts broke the deadlock 10 minutes before the break when Gonzalo Higuain beat the offside trap before advancing on goal and drilling a shot into the bottom corner.
This lead was doubled just three minutes later when Michael Essien rose highest in the box to meet Mesut Ozil's cross and thump his header past Asier Riesgo.

Osasuna grabbed a goal back just seven minutes into the second half when Roberto Torres picked up the ball on the edge of the box before smashing a fine strike into the top corner.
Higuain had a chance to restore Madrid's two-goal advantage when he moved into the opposition box, but his final shot was well saved.
The visitors then grabbed a shock equaliser just after the hour mark when Manuel Onwu's cross was guided in by Cejudo.
Madrid regained the lead in the 70th minute when Ozil found Benzema, who took a touch before firing his shot past Riesgo.
Modric had a good chance to wrap up the points for his side with just over 10 minutes left when he wriggled his way into the box before bending an effort towards the bottom corner, but it whistled just past the post.
There was still time for a fourth, however, as Callejon gathered Benzema's pass before firing home to secure the win.
