More and more players are returning to the fray as Real Madrid gear up for the 2026/27 season. A trip to European regulars Ferencvárod. Joan Martínez and Mario Rivas continued to start from Castilla, with some new faces ready to introduce themselves from the bench.
The game was played at a similar pace to the previous Freddie’s, with some combination play taken straight from the training
ground – and some impressive displays from unlikely sources. The Castilla boys continued to impress, and the first goal came directly through their input. Alexis Ciria delivered a lovely ball for Mario Rivas to head low into the net. The second half would bring even more entertainments as Carlos Espí would score for the first time in a Real Madrid shirt after a great move – before the hosts pulled one back. Ferencváros came the closest to scoring with two strong chances , but the game need 2-1, with Real Madrid leaving with the win.
