La Liga club Real Madrid is considered the best club in the world by many, and rightfully so. The Spanish club is the most successful club in the UEFA Champions League. They are the home of galacticos such as Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. There is an expectation that they always play attractive football and win all the trophies on offer. In that regard, the 2024/25 season was underwhelming by Real Madrid’s high standards.
Xabi Alonso will lead Real Madrid in the new season as the club enters a new era. The ex-player was well-supported in the transfer market. Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool was already snapped up ahead of the Club World Cup to solve the perennial right-back issue. Dean Huijsen, who impressed at Bournemouth, was roped in at centre-back. With the window just starting, expect Los Blancos to be aggressive in the market yet again.
UEFA Champions League champions PSG dashed their Club World Cup hopes by thrashing Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals. Los Blancos will take a short vacation before returning for the preseason.
Stealing the La Liga trophy from arch-rivals Barcelona will be a goal later on. The Champions League is a trophy that the club feels like it's birthright. Expect a strong challenge in the remaining cup competitions as well as in the new season.
GOAL takes a look at where to watch Real Madrid in action in the 2025-26 season.
