Summary

Real Madrid is set to compete in the prestigious Teresa Herrera Trophy for the first time since 2013, facing off against hosts Real Club Deportivo de A Coruña. This annual preseason tournament, established in 1946, honors Teresa Margarita Herrera y Pedrosa. Deportivo, a former La Liga champion, is making a significant return to the top flight after an eight-year absence, having achieved promotion last season.
Los Blancos have remained undefeated throughout their summer preparations, most recently securing a victory against Ferencváros. However, they will be without a number of crucial first-team players for this encounter due to injuries. Despite these absences, manager Mourinho will aim to add the Teresa Herrera Trophy to his accolades.
This matchup provides a valuable test for Real Madrid before the La Liga season begins. The predicted lineup for Real Madrid includes Lunin; Alexander-Arnold, Rivas, Martínez, Álvaro Carreras; Valverde, Camavinga; Endrick, Arda Güler, Vini Jr.; and Espí. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, August 12, at the Estadio Abanca-Riazor in A Coruña, Spain, with a kickoff time of 3 p.m. ET.
