Looks like los Blancos
will be back on the Golden Coast to face the other galácticos, LA Galaxy. The
men will play the Los Angeles based team in a preseason friendly as part of the
World Football Challenge. The match will
take place Thursday, August 2nd, at the Home Depot Center.
This will be the fourth time Madrid faces LA Galaxy. Perhaps the fourth time could be the charm
for Galaxy? The defending MLS Cup
champions will face the recently crowned La Liga campeones. The first time
the two met was back in 2005 when current Galaxy man David Beckham wore RM's
colors, the Spanish powerhouse winning 2-0.
LA Galaxy's Chief Operating Officer, Chris McGowan, had the
following to say:
"We are excited to give our fans a chance to see the Galaxy take on one of the best clubs in the world in Real Madrid," he said. "This will be a tremendous event for Southern California soccer fans, especially with the opportunity to see this game in such an intimate setting as The Home Depot Center.
"It will truly be one of the must-see sporting events of the year."
Other teams participating in the World Football Challenge include
Liverpool, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, the Seattle Sounders, and
the New York Red Bulls.
