- ريال مدريد back in pre-season training
- Mbappe sends out ‘hungry’ message
- Team finished trophyless last season
Real Madrid are back in pre-season under new manager Xabi Alonso following a brief break after their exploits at the Club كأس العالم. Los Blancos finished last season without winning a major trophy, despite having added Mbappe to the squad from PSG, and will be aiming to get back to winning ways in the coming campaign.
Mbappe’s Club World Cup campaign was disrupted by illness that even saw the فرنسا star hospitalised at one point. The forward also lost around 5kg while in the متحد States, due to gastroenteritis, but is now looking forward to the season ahead and seems eager to return to action.

He posted on Instagram: “New season. Hungry to do something great. Let’s go all together, Madridistas! Hala Madrid!”

Real Madrid has asked for their La Liga opener against أوساسونا to be delayed after reaching the semi-finals of the Club World Cup. However, that request has been denied and the two teams are scheduled to meet as planned on August 19 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Alonso’s side will play a friendly the week before against WSG Tirol in Austria.
