Real Madrid rounded off its brief pre-season with a 4–0 victory over Austrian Bundesliga leaders WSG Tirol in Innsbruck on 12 August. Eder Militao’s 10th-minute header from a Brahim Díaz cross opened the scoring before Kylian Mbappé struck twice, netting in the 12th and 59th minutes—the second goal created by Aurélien Tchouameni. Mbappé then supplied the pass for Rodrygo to complete the win in the 81st minute at the Tivoli Stadion Tirol. The fixture was the club’s only official friendly of the summer and served as Xabi Alonso’s first public outing as head coach. Alonso fielded a 4-3-3 that featured new left-back Álvaro Carreras and a midfield of Arda Güler, Tchouameni and Dani Ceballos, with Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde sidelined by injuries. Güler underlined his case for more minutes with the assist for Mbappé’s first goal and a shot that clipped the crossbar. Madrid’s comfortable win provides momentum ahead of its LaLiga opener against Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu on 19 August. Mbappé’s sharp form alongside Vinícius Júnior strengthens an attack that could yet lose Rodrygo, who remains the subject of transfer speculation despite finishing the match sheet in Innsbruck.
