Overview
- RTVE replaced its usual Tuesday afternoon schedule on La 1 to broadcast Real Madrid’s lone preseason match against WSG Tirol, with simultaneous coverage on RTVE Play and Real Madrid TV.
- Real Madrid secured a 4–0 win in Innsbruck through goals by Éder Militão, Kylian Mbappé (two) and Rodrygo in their only tune-up before the LaLiga opener on August 19.
- The schedule change curtailed or cut shows including Malas lenguas, Valle Salvaje, La Promesa, La Pirámide and Aquí la Tierra, prompting viewer complaints on social media.
- The club confirmed Federico Valverde will miss both the friendly and the start of the season after suffering a muscular overload, joining other absentees such as Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga.
- RTVE said the decision was driven by weak summer audience figures—‘La Pirámide’ had logged a roughly 5% share—and aimed to shore up its afternoon viewership.
