Real Madrid’s subtle start to preseason continues with a behind-closed-doors friendly against Leganés on Tuesday.

José Mourinho isn’t yet close to having a full cohort of players available thanks to the World Cup, yet there’s a glut of star names aiming to win the new manager over this summer.

The “special one” is back for a second bite of the cherry in Madrid, having seen his coaching career embark on a steady decline over the past decade. Florentino Pérez has gifted an old friend another shot of glory, after Mourinho helped dethrone Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering Barcelona during his first spell.

Los Blancos have been a comfortable second to Hansi Flick’s Barça in back-to-back seasons, all while failing to reach the Champions League semifinals. Whether Mourinho is the man to return Madrid to the promised land will be answered in time, but there‘s no doubting that his second reign will be box office.

Here’s how you can keep up to date with Madrid’s training-ground friendly against second-tier opposition.
