Real Madrid wins Teresa Herrera Trophy against Deportivo

Real Madrid won the Teresa Herrera Trophy after defeating Deportivo de La Coruña 1-0 in a pre-season friendly at Riazor. The decisive goal was scored by Brahim Díaz in the final minutes of the first half, following a long throw-in from goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

Following the victory, Real Madrid manager José Mourinho expressed satisfaction with the team's discipline and fighting spirit, noting that the focus remains on experimentation and player rotation ahead of the La Liga season. However, the club faces defensive concerns as injuries to Eder Militao and Raul Asencio have left the squad with limited senior centre-back options, potentially forcing the use of academy players like Joan Martinez and Mario Rivas.

Individual performances were mixed; while Brahim Díaz and Lunin were praised for their roles in the winning goal, Eduardo Camavinga's performance drew scrutiny regarding his ability to dictate play and provide offensive ideas.
