The final preseason training session for Real Madrid did not go as planned. Antonio Rüdiger’s panic had everyone frozen. During the game, the German injured his right knee while cutting off a hard shot from Alaba. He collapsed on the ground, writhing in anguish and crying for help, which arrived in seconds. The teammates, as well as Ancelotti himself, arrived to see what was wrong with him.

He stood up seconds later, calmed down. Of course, she left plainly limping. He went around the Camping World pitch where he played the rest of the game before exiting through the changing room tunnel with one of the physios to perform the necessary tests. Despite what appeared to be awful news, the initial scans ruled out major discomfort.

There were no further surprises. The players and Pintus warmed up together with a short running drill. Later, a few rondos to get comfortable with the ball before finishing a game in a small space. He tried two elevens in it. The first (with the exclusion of Rüdiger) was formed up of Lucas, Nacho, Fran; Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Bellingham; Vinicius and Joselu. Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Odriozola; Tchouameni, Valverde, Nico, Rodrygo, and Brahim were the only nine players in the second half.

The footballers will fight against both Juventus and the Miami Heat. Despite the fact that the temperature is not excessive (a little more than 30 degrees), the thermal impression can be as high as ten degrees. The humidity in Orlando, which has over 100 lakes, causes the players to sweat more than necessary, which is exacerbated by the fact that the stadium is open and does not have air conditioning, like it does in Texas.

The contest will start at 7:30 p.m. (1:30 p.m. peninsular time) as the sun sets. Following the match, the team will return to Spain to complete preparations at Valdebebas until the start of LaLiga EA Sports. Athletic, on August 12, will put the white team to the test. With Rüdiger if there are no shocks.
