Real Madrid kicked off their preseason with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Ferencvaros in Budapest. The friendly match, part of Real Madrid's preparations, saw goals from young talents Mario Rivas and Carlos Espí seal the win.

Coach Mourinho aimed to test his squad's fitness against a Ferencvaros team that had already played seven competitive matches. Despite controlling possession, Real Madrid struggled with early errors in ball distribution, allowing the Hungarian side some opportunities. Youngster Arda Güler was active, generating chances, but the team lacked precision in the final third.

The breakthrough came from a connection between academy players. Alexis Ciria set up Mario Rivas, whose header opened the scoring. After halftime, both teams made numerous substitutions, with Real Madrid giving debuts to players like Bernardo Silva and testing new defensive pairings.

Carlos Espí extended Real Madrid's lead, but Kenan Kodro pulled one back for Ferencvaros, adding late tension. Real Madrid managed the closing minutes to secure the win, a positive sign as they continue their preseason campaign.
