Real Madrid and Fiorentina have confirmed their starting teams for their friendly at Klagenfurt’s Worthersee Stadion on Saturday.
Jose Mourinho has made a winning start to his second spell in charge of Los Blancos, overseeing a 4-1 victory over Leganes in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Thursday.
The 15-time European champions finished eight points behind Barcelona in second in the Spanish top flight last season.
Fiorentina finished 15th with the fourth-fewest wins in Serie A in 2025/26. Fabio Grosso succeeded Paolo Vanoli as head coach in June.
