Real Madrid Defeats Schalke 3-0 in Pre-Season Finale

Real Madrid concluded their pre-season with a 3-0 victory against Schalke, showcasing their talents under the management of Jose Mourinho. Kylian Mbappe scored the opening goal in the seventh minute, capitalizing on a misplaced back-pass, marking his first pre-season goal since 2017.

Dean Huijsen extended the lead with a header from an Arda Guler corner, and Carlos Esp added a third goal after the interval, converting a pass from Carreras. Mourinho commented on the team's quality, stating, “At this moment, it’s difficult to talk individually because we are growing as a team,” and emphasized the importance of their sports science program in managing player fitness.

Real Madrid finished their pre-season with an undefeated record of two wins and one draw. Their next match is scheduled against Espanyol on Saturday in August.
