The Real Madrid of Zinedine Zidane will have to improve a lot of things along the pre-season 2016-17 if it wishes to continue being a fearsome team of face to the next season. The whites lost in the première of the International Champions Cup against Paris Saint-Germain in Columbus, where the French picture of Unai Emery was better at all times.
The Belgian midfield player Thomas Meiner was the most stood out man of the meeting when annotating two of the three goals of the PSG in the victory against the Real Madrid, whereas the another so much was annotated by the attacker youngster Nanitamo Ikoné, the one who materialised the first target of the appointment practically in the second minute of party.
The Real Madrid no achantó after the initial goal and tried to generate offensive game of the boots of Álvaro Morata and the arrival of the midfield players. In the minute 18, Kevin Trapp diverted to the base of the stick a powerful shot of Mateo Kovacic, whereas some minutes later was Casemiro the one who tried it, also without luck.
It would be Meunier, however, the key player of the meeting when marking in the minutes 35 and 40, first thanks to a whiplash from out of the area and afterwards after taking advantage of an oversight of the defence of the Real Madrid, very little greased in the first party of pre-season.
The party went to the rest with 1-3 in the marker, since the Real Madrid attained recortar distances by means of a penalti transformed by Marcelo. In the second half the merengues improved something especially thanks to the destellos of quality of Marco Asensio, but was not sufficient to trace back the party against the ones of Unai Emery, very safe of himself same.
