Real Madrid Kicks Off Xabi Alonso Era with a Secret Pre-Season Match

 


The Xabi Alonso era at Real Madrid is officially underway! The club is set to play its first pre-season training match against Leganés, a team recently relegated to the Second Division.

While neither club has made an official announcement, sources from Cadena Cope and Diario AS confirm the closed-door match will be held at Real Madrid's training complex in Valdebebas.

This match will mark the first time we see Alonso's tactics in action with his new squad. The private nature of the game is likely to allow the team to experiment and focus on new strategies without the pressure of a public audience.

What We Know About the Match

  • Who: Real Madrid vs. Leganés

  • When: Tomorrow morning (Friday)

  • Where: Valdebebas (Real Madrid's training grounds)

  • Details: The match will be a private training session, closed to both the public and media.

This is a great opportunity for both teams. For Real Madrid, it’s a crucial first test under their new manager. For Leganés, it’s a high-level training match that will help them prepare for the season ahead.

The last time these two teams had a similar private match, they played two 30-minute halves. It's likely this one will follow a similar format to accommodate the intense pre-season training schedules.
