Real Madrid are set to lock horns with WSG Tirol on Tuesday in a pre-season tune-up that could be livelier than most August friendlies.
The Spanish giants only just got back into the swing of things last week, dusting off the cobwebs with a 4-1 win over La Liga 2 outfit Leganes in a behind-closed-doors clash.
Brahim Diaz, Dean Huijsen, Eder Militao, and youngster Thiago Pitarch all found the net, marking Los Blancos’ first outing since lifting the Club World Cup. With barely a week of pre-season under their belts after an extended summer break, this friendly is another step toward sharpening their edge.
WSG Tirol, on the other hand, have been anything but rusty. The Austrian side have hit the ground running, winning their first two league matches in August and a cup tie in late July — banging in 11 goals along the way to perch themselves atop the Bundesliga table.
While they finished in the bottom half last season, their match sharpness could make them more than just sparring partners for Madrid.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
