Real Madrid defeats Leganés 4-1 in pre‑season friendly
Real Madrid opened its 2026‑27 pre‑season with a 4‑1 victory over second‑division side CD Leganés on 28 July 2026 at the club’s Valdebebas/Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium in Madrid. José Mourinho’s side took the lead in the 21st minute when Federico Valverde finished a pass from Arda Güler, and Gonzalo García doubled the advantage a few minutes later. Leganés reduced the deficit through Naim García before half‑time. In the second half Franco Mastantuono scored the third goal and Rubén Pulido inadvertently handed an own‑goal, securing the final score. The match featured a rotation of the squad, with academy players given minutes after the 70th minute, and highlighted the absence of stars such as Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr, who were still on post‑World‑Cup breaks. The win marked Real Madrid’s second consecutive pre‑season win under Mourinho, following a 1‑0 win over Alcorcón.
