Real Madrid will be hoping to come out of a slump in form when the new season begins this month.
Madrid endured a disappointing campaign last season as they missed out on the La Liga title and were eliminated from the Champions League in the quarter-finals.
In fact, Los Blancos have not lifted any silverware since 2024.
They have tried to shake things up for the 2026/27 campaign, bringing back Jose Mourinho for a second spell as manager.
Mourinho arrived at the end of a tumultuous campaign where [Xabi Alonso was sacked](https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/2026/01/13/xabi-alonso-sacked-by-real-madrid-will-it-be-maresca-or-zidane-who-replaces-him/) as manager after less than eight months in charge. His replacement Alvaro Arbeloa did not last long either.
Brazil forward [Vinicius Jr](https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/world-cup-2026/2026/06/14/bouaddi-and-saibari-shine-for-morocco-but-vinicius-jr-rescues-point-for-brazil/) has been a vital cog in Madrid's attack in recent years, and ended speculation about his future by signing a new deal.
