All eyes will be on Xabi Alonso when he manages his first game as the new Real Madrid manager.
Real Madrid parted ways with the legendary Carlo Ancelotti following an underwhelming season that ended without a major trophy. Los Blancos only managed to win the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup while Barcelona lifted a domestic treble and boasted four Clásico victories for the first time in history.
Alonso is the man taking over the Spanish giants. The 43-year-old left Bayer Leverkusen to return to Madrid, where he helped Los Blancos win six trophies, including La Décima, as a player.
The pressure is on Alonso to bring silverware back to Real Madrid, and the Spaniard will almost immediately have the opportunity to do so this summer.
