Real Madrid face Milan in what will be the team’s last pre-season match before the start of the 2021-2022 campaign against Alaves. The season opener will take place in just one week and Madrid need to show some improvements and recover some of their depth.
Some key players like Militao, Alaba, Casemiro, Courtois or Modric are back today and could play some minutes, but Benzema is still completing his own pre-season stage after rejoining the squad in training just a few days ago following a positive test for Covid-19.
Odegaard, Jovic or Isco will get another chance to prove their worth while Rodrygo could still make his case for relevant minutes with another solid performance today. Real Madrid’s rotation for the wing spots is unclear at the moment, so it will be interesting to see what coach Carlo Ancelotti has in store for Bale, Vinicius and Co. just seven days before the match against Alaves.
