Madrid's preparations for the 2019-20 campaign started with a 3-1 defeat to Bayern last weekend. Zinedine Zidane's side actually played quite well for long periods of the match, but the German champions scored twice in the space of two second-half minutes to effectively end the game as a contest.
Atletico Madrid
As mentioned, Atletico opened their preparations for the new season with a 3-0 win over Numancia last weekend. The match saw a number of players make their debuts for the capital giants, including Kieran Trippier and Joao Felix. What's more, fellow summer arrivals Ivan Saponjic and Felipe were both on the scoresheet.
