The Story in Brief
Real Madrid take on Deportivo A Coruna in the Trofeo Teresa Herrera pre-season friendly at Estadio Riazor in A Coruna, Spain, on Thursday, August 13 at 12:30 AM IST. The match offers Jose Mourinho's side a chance to build rhythm ahead of the 2026-27 La Liga season, with stars like Vinicius Jr, Endrick, Arda Guler, and Eduardo Camavinga expected to feature. However, Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham will not play as they have only recently returned from post-FIFA World Cup breaks.
The match will not be televised live in India but can be streamed on Realmadrid TV and RM Play. Deportivo have returned to the top flight after promotion.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative around pre-season friendlies is often overblown, wins are hailed as omens of glory, losses as signs of crisis. The real test for Real Madrid is not beating a newly-promoted side in a trophy match, but integrating returning stars like Mbappe and Bellingham without disrupting the rhythm set by Vinicius Jr. Time will tell if Carlo Ancelotti, now the coach, can balance egos and form.
