Marco Asensio scored the second goal in the victory over Juventus (2-0). The Spanish player assessed the last friendly of the pre-season. He said that he sees Madrid ready for the first official match and that what they have shown during the American tour is pretty close to what they would like to show during the 2022-23 season as well.

On Sunday 10th August, Madrid will have the chance to fight for another title. They take on Eintracht in the European Super Cup.

Asensio, after beating Juventus 2-0, assessed the match. Beyond that win against the 'Vecchia Signora', he said that he saw the team ready to compete for the trophy.

"It was a really good performance. We wanted to finish off on a high and we managed that. We were up against a great side and the way we played and our intensity is approaching what we want to see this season. We're ready for our first competitive game," he stressed.

He admitted that these games after the holidays have been difficult, but he hopes they have been worth it: "It's been a really good, tough pre-season, we're on the right track. We have a squad full of experience and youth at the same time".

"We're excited to try and win as many trophies as possible this season and we're preparing to do just that," Asensio concluded.
