Real Madrid faces Deportivo de La Coruña in Teresa Herrera Trophy

Real Madrid and Deportivo de La Coruña will face each other on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at the Estadio Riazor for the 81st edition of the Teresa Herrera Trophy. This pre-season friendly marks a significant reunion, as it is the first time the two clubs have met in competitive or high-profile settings since 2018.

Deportivo de La Coruña enters the match following their return to the Spanish top flight, La Liga. Their squad features notable additions such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Angeliño. Real Madrid, led by manager José Mourinho, arrives following a 2-1 victory over Ferencváros. While several stars like Vinícius Júnior are expected to feature, other recent signings including Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Eduardo Camavinga are expected to miss the match as they continue their integration into the squad.

The event coincides with a total solar eclipse visible from the Iberian Peninsula, adding a unique atmosphere to the city of A Coruña. The match serves as a final major test for both sides before the official start of the 2026-27 La Liga season.
