Real Madrid could end the 2023/24 season with three trophies in their back pocket and the club’s summer preparation cannot be overlooked in their success.
The addition of Jude Bellingham helped ease the void left by Karim Benzema, while under-the-radar acquisition Joselu inspired the club to another UEFA Champions League final by scoring late on against Bayern Munich.
A productive pre-season in the United States has undoubtedly contributed to an impressively united Madrid dressing room despite a litany of superstars, and that collective cohesion will be put to the test when Kylian Mbappe steps in.
Carlo Ancelotti will know how important pre-season will be to ensure the Frenchman is fit ahead of 2024/25, with the Spanish media having to be relentless in their coverage of arguably the world’s best player at the start of his Madrid career.
