Valverde Returns as Captain in Real Madrid's Second Preseason Friendly

Real Madrid plays their second preseason friendly against Leganés at the Di Stéfano stadium, with Federico Valverde making his first appearance of the preseason and debuting as first captain following Carvajal's departure. The match follows the same format as the first friendly: the first 20 minutes will be broadcast, followed by a media blackout. Expected lineup includes Lunin in goal, a defense of Trent, Asencio, Huijsen, and Carreras, with Camavinga and Valverde in midfield. Dutch defender Dumfries is in Madrid and will train but is not ready to play. The match kicks off at 18:00 CEST behind closed doors from the 20th minute onward.
