Real Madrid played their first preseason friendly under manager José Mourinho against Alcorcón at an empty Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium. The match was marked by high intensity, with Mourinho's staff repeatedly shouting 'Tension!' during warm-ups. The first-team players played 70 minutes, leaving the score at 0-0. The game was then won 1-0 by a penalty goal from academy player Yáñez. The press was only allowed to observe the first 20 minutes, and a smoke cloud from nearby fires loomed on the horizon. Key players included Lunin as captain, Güler as a starter, and debutant Gabri Valero. Valverde watched from the stands after joining training late.
