Confirmed line-ups as Alonso prepares for new season

Real Madrid have named a strong line-up for their pre-season friendly against FC Tirol in Austria.

Xabi Alonso’s side have been on a summer break since competing in the Club World Cup in the US, and begin their La Liga season in a week’s time against Osasuna.

New coach Alonso has plenty of class at his disposal but also a big job on his hands to regain the title from rivals Barcelona. He does not have long to make his mark.
