Overview
- Real Madrid led 2-0 in their preseason friendly but Fiorentina recovered to draw 2-2 in Klagenfurt, with Endrick and Alexis Ciria scoring for Madrid and Roberto Piccoli and Moise Kean equalising.
- José Mourinho described the team as having ‘three faces’ and said he was pleased with the work while asking for more training time to fix issues he saw in the second half.
- Mourinho singled out Moise Kean’s physicality, calling him a ‘monster’ and saying Madrid’s young centre‑backs were not yet ready to handle that strength.
- New right‑back Denzel Dumfries made his full debut and the club used the match to give heavy minutes to academy prospects as senior internationals continued to return.
- LaLiga confirmed Bernardo Silva’s registration for Real Madrid while Vinicius Jr. and Brahim Díaz rejoined the group and Carlos Espai remained the only summer signing not yet registered.
