Key player - Real Madrid
Although he will not be part of this duel after testing positive for Coronavirus, we must talk about what is undoubtedly the main figure of the Merengue team: Karim Benzema. The striker showed all his class last season both with Real Madrid and with the French National Team in the UEFA Euro 2020, despite the fact that they did not achieve the expected results.
Key player - Rangers
The Scottish team features veteran Jermain Defoe, who is in his second spell at the club since 2020, where he has scored 32 goals in 72 games. The previous season was somewhat discreet, with just seven goals in 20 games, but he will be looking to improve that record in the season that is about to begin.
Rangers vs Real Madrid history
These two teams have only met twice officially. This happened in the European Champions Cup (now UEFA Champions League) in 1963-64. In that tournament they faced each other in the round prior to the final phase, where the Merengues won with authority.
The first leg was played on September 25, 1963 at Ibrox Stadium, the same venue as today's clash. Ferenc Puskás scored the goal that gave Madrid the advantage.
The second leg took place on October 9 at the legendary Santiago Bernabéu in Spain. Madrid confirmed its favoritism and thrashed Rangers 6-0, with a hat-trick by Ferenc Puskás and goals by Evaristo, Gento and Félix Ruiz.
Carlo Ancelotti 2.0 era begins at Real Madrid
This will be the first match that Real Madrid will have to face in the 2021-22 season, where it will be essential to recover the cup mystique to which the Spanish team had been accustomed. It will not be easy for Carlo Ancelotti, but precisely because he is a coach who has led Madrid to glory and the main generator of the most recent winning era, he was chosen to give back to the merengue team the champion spirit that was missing in the 2020-21 season.
Rangers end their preseason
This will be the last match that the Scottish team will have before officially starting the 2021-22 season in the Scottish Premiership, where they will make their debut against Livingston. Although the results are not so important at this stage, it is important to highlight that they leave a regular balance so far. However, Steven Gerrard's team is confident that all these games have been useful to improve and consolidate their idea of the game for the start of the competitions.
The match will be played at the Ibrox Stadium
The Rangers vs Real Madrid match will be played at the Ibrox Stadium, located in the city of Glaswog, Scotland. It is owned by Rangers Football Club and has a capacity of 50,987 spectators. With these numbers, it is the third largest stadium in Scotland and the tenth largest stadium in the United Kingdom by capacity.
