Real Madrid: Mourinho begins his second spell with a statement win

Real Madrid have entered a new chapter as they continue rebuilding a squad determined to return to the top after two seasons without lifting a major trophy. José Mourinho's first game back in charge could hardly have gone better, as Los Blancos cruised to a 4-1 victory over Leganés. Franco Mastantuono, Gonzalo García, and Federico Valverde all got on the scoresheet, offering an early glimpse of the team's renewed attacking potential.

The Spanish giants also finished last season in strong form, winning each of their final three league fixtures. Across their last ten competitive matches, defeats came only against Barcelona and Bayern Munich, while they scored two or more goals in five of their previous six outings.

With this being a preseason fixture, Mourinho is expected to rotate heavily, handing opportunities to new arrivals and academy prospects. While that should make Real dangerous going forward, constant personnel changes could also leave gaps at the back, particularly after the interval.

Fiorentina: Positive signs under new leadership

Fiorentina endured a disappointing Serie A campaign, finishing 15th with only 42 points and ending the season uncomfortably close to the relegation battle.

The club responded by appointing Paolo Vanoli as head coach, replacing Fabio Grosso. Early indications have been encouraging, with the Viola winning three of their opening four preseason matches. Their only setback came in an entertaining 3-2 defeat to Queens Park Rangers.

Goals have been a recurring theme in Fiorentina's recent fixtures, with their last six matches averaging more than three goals apiece. Their attacking confidence could prove valuable against a Real Madrid side expected to experiment with different tactical combinations.
