Match Facts
R. Sporting:
- The return to Liga BBVA is the main motivation of a team that, full of homegrown players and pride, managed to touch the sky on the final match day of last season. Now they must start from scratch with the same base, same manager and just five new signings.
- The preseason of the "rojiblanco" side has been one of the most intense of the championship. Ten friendlies (and only three defeats) have helped them to get to this key match, which comes at the opening day of the competition, in good shape.
Real Madrid CF:
- The Real Madrid of Rafa Benítez wants to start their cycle with a victory that can show the weapons with which the "blanco" team are going to fight through the course: defensive strength, midfield solidarity and wasteful attack.
- The "blancos" are facing this Liga BBVA hungrier than ever after having finished second last season and without collecting any silverware. The preseason has been also uneven, with two wins, two defeats and three draws in their last friendlies
