Real Madrid vs Juventus: Watch Highlights, Goals

Real Madrid vs Juventus: Watch Highlights.. Real Madrid registered a dominating victory in their final preseason match with a comprehensive 2-0 victory over Italian giants Juventus, who were outplayed for large stretches by the European champions.

Los Merengues swarmed Juventus and applied pressure from the opening minute and they did not relent even after the entire squad was rotated in the second half. It’s a testament to the depth and culture of a squad that expects nothing less than to win every competition they’re part of beginning with the Aug. 10 UEFA Super Cup.

In front of a sellout crowd of more than 93,000, Real Madrid showed off a fluid, flowing attack with Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr setting the tone with their interchanging and rapid-fire combinations. Vinicius earned a penalty on one of those lightning quick vertical attacks, and Benzema converted the spot kick. Another clinical passing sequence led to the second goal by Marco Asensio in the second half.

It was a difficult night for Juventus, which looked disjointed and lacking ideas compared to Real Madrid. Star forward Dusan Vlahovic got his first minutes of the preseason, but he was isolated and didn’t impact the match. Star signing Angel Di Maria had his quietest preseason match, and starters Paul Pogba, Wojciech Szczesny, and Weston McKennie were absent due to injury.

Real Madrid’s next match comes on Aug. 10 in Helsinki when they face Eintracht Frankfurt for the UEFA Super Cup. Juventus will play another friendly against Atletico Madrid (Aug. 7) before opening its Serie A season against Sassuolo on Aug. 15.
