Real Madrid continue their preparations for the new season this weekend when the European champions take on Juventus in California.
Carlo Ancelotti's side started late with their pre-season games and have only played two matches – a 1-0 defeat against old rivals Barcelona in the Las Vegas clasico and a 2-2 draw with Club America in San Francisco.
Karim Benzema, who was not involved in the Clasico defeat, played the opening 45 minutes against the Mexicans, finding the back of the net in the 22nd minute. “Even without many training sessions, he has arrived well and is doing well.
He can still get even closer to his level,” said manager Ancelotti of his star striker and top scorer last season. “I think it was a better match than the first one.
