al Madrid Dominate WSG Tirol 4-0 in Key Pre-Season Friendly
Real Madrid delivered a commanding 4-0 win over WSG Tirol in their only major pre-season test ahead of their La Liga opener against Osasuna next week. The match highlighted the form of Kylian Mbappe and rising star Arda Guler.
Mbappe scored twice, assisted Rodrygo for the fourth goal, and consistently threatened the Tirol defence. Guler impressed with a goal, two woodwork strikes, and a brilliant display of technical skill, confirming his growing importance in midfield.
Real Madrid took the lead in the 10th minute with Eder Militao heading in a Brahim cross. Two minutes later, Guler set up the new No.10 for a second goal. In the second half, Mbappe capitalized on a defensive lapse to make it 3-0 before Rodrygo finished the scoring.
Coach Xabi Alonso also tested tactical flexibility, experimenting with a three-centre-back system that gave the squad added depth and defensive stability. Substitutes including Carvajal, Rüdiger, Alaba, Fran García, and academy talents like Daniel Yanez and Pitarch contributed in the latter stages.
The match offered a glimpse of Real Madrid’s readiness and squad depth, setting a confident tone ahead of the La Liga season.
