Real Madrid Defeat Leganés 4-1 in Closed-Door Preseason Match

Madrid’s squad will rest Saturday after gym work, returning Sunday for double training ahead of an open friendly in Innsbruck on August 12.

Overview

  • Real Madrid overturned an early goal by Sule to win 4-1 against a largely youth and reserve Leganés side at the Ciudad Deportiva de Valdebebas.
  • Xabi Alonso fielded what resembled a starting XI in a 4-3-3 formation that featured debutant Álvaro Carreras alongside veterans like Courtois, Vinícius and Mbappé.
  • Players completed gym sessions before and after the match to reinforce fitness and tactical preparation under Alonso’s structured regime.
  • The club prohibited external reporting and banned cameras during the closed-door session to maintain secrecy over training methods.
  • The team’s only open preseason friendly is set for August 12 in Innsbruck against WSG Tirol at the Tivoli Stadion Tirol before their LaLiga opener versus Osasuna on August 19 at the Santiago Bernabéu.
