Real Madrid suffered another defeat in the United States where they are preparing for the 2023-2024 season, beaten on Wednesday night by Juventus (1-3). A disappointment for the Merengues who end their summer tour on a mixed record.
The tour of the United States obviously does not succeed at Real Madrid. Already swept away by Barça (0-3) last weekend, the people of Madrid suffered another defeat on Wednesday night in Orlando. Executioner of the Merengues this time, Juventus. Led by their new recruit Timoty Weah, the Bianconeri crushed the vice-champions of Spain with the score of 3-1.
The start of the evening was nightmarish for the people of Madrid, picked cold by the former Parisian, Moise Kean, who opened the scoring in the first minute of the match. The young American striker, Timothy Weah, then scored his first goal in the colors of Juventus by taking a cross from his compatriot, Weston McKennie, in the 20th minute.
Vinicius closed the gap with a superb 38th-minute pass from Toni Kroos, but hopes of a comeback faded when Dusan Vlahovic, whose possible move to Chelsea in a swap deal with Romelu Lukaku is mentioned by some Italian media, sealed the fate of the meeting in the 95th minute.
Real Madrid therefore ends its pre-season with a record of two wins for two defeats. Statistics that do not reassure before the start of the championship which promises to be epic with a Barça which is gaining more and more power. Not to mention the merengue attack which obviously still suffers from the departure of Karim Benzema, who left for Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
An analysis that Carlo Ancelotti does not share, however, who sees in it earlier a positive assessment of the adventure of his family in the land of Uncle Sam. The pre-season was overall positive and we showed different qualities in the games we participated in.”said the Real Madrid coach in the mixed zone after the meeting, relayed by RMC Sport.

“We had some very good moments, but we particularly need to improve our defence. The team is not used to playing diamonds, and we conceded a lot of goals against Juventus and Barcelona. We need to work on our balance and correct these shortcomings”, added the Italian technician. Ancelotti knows he still has work ahead of him to prepare his team as well as possible before the start of the official season.
