Real Madrid are set for a busy pre-season as a result of their double-winning 2016-17 campaign, which saw them collect both La Liga and the Champions League trophies
By defending their European crown, Zinedine Zidane's men added the UEFA Super Cup to a schedule that already includes the Spanish Super Cup between the winners of the league and the Copa del Rey.

With four matches - and plenty of travelling - in the United States also booked, the Blancos will certainly not be short of minutes when the league campaign gets under way.
This is your complete guide to the fixtures awaiting Real Madrid during pre-season.
REAL MADRID PRE-SEASON FIXTURES
DateOpponentTime (local / BST)VenueJul 23 Manchester United 14:00 / 22:00 Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara
Jul 26 Manchester City 20:00 / 04:00 Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles
Jul 29 Barcelona 19:30 / 00:30 Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens
Aug 2 MLS All-Stars 21:00 / 02:00 Soldier Field, Chicago
Real Madrid are one of the clubs participating in the International Champions Cup and will travel to the United States for three fixtures in that competition plus one extra match.
Their first game was against Manchester United at the 68,500-seater Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on July 23. Madrid went behind before equalising through Casemiro, but Los Blancos ultimately lost on penalties, with David de Gea foiling the Spanish champions.
Madrid then took a quick one-hour flight down the coast to Los Angeles, to play Manchester City three days later. However, they were utterly outclassed by Pep Guardiola's men, losing 4-1 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
From there it is five hours by plane to Miami, Florida. At the Miami Dolphins' 65,326-capacity Hard Rock Stadium in nearby Miami Gardens, Zidane's men will contest the first Clasico against Barcelona played outside of Spain for 25 years. With over 70 per cent of Miami's population speaking Spanish as a first language, expect a raucous crowd.
Once their ICC participation is over, Madrid fly three hours north to Chicago for the much anticipated MLS All-Star Game.
At Soldier Field, the 61,500-capacity home of the NFL's Chicago Bears, they will play an exhibition match against the best players in MLS, with Kaka set feature against his former club and the likes of David Villa, Sebastian Giovinco and Bastian Schweinsteiger also included in the panel.
