Real Madrid land in Spanish capital and now prepare for Super Cup

Real Madrid improved as their USA tour went on. After losing 0-1 to Barcelona in 'El Clasico' and conceding a late equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Mexican side America, 'Los Blancos' ended the tour with a 2-0 victory over Juventus. 

It was this Sunday when Carlo Ancelotti landed in Madrid. They arrived at Barajas at around 19:30 CEST. With Real Madrid now at home, the team will focus their attention on their first competitive match in the 2022-23 season. 

On 10th August, the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki will host the UEFA Super Cup which will see Champions League winners Real Madrid take on Eintracht Frankfurt, who defeated Rangers in the Europa League final. 

It is still not known who the Italian coach will play for the match. Against Juventus, he played the same XI which won the Champions League final, so he could play the same XI again. 

Who are likely to miss out are Odriozola and Mariano as they play just half an hour in the entire pre-season. 

After the Super Cup match, Madrid will begin their defence of the La Liga title. That will begin on 14th August away to Almeria.
