Real Madrid wins Trofeo Teresa Herrera with Brahim Díaz goal

Real Madrid secured the prestigious Trofeo Teresa Herrera title with a narrow 1-0 victory over Deportivo de La Coruña. The decisive goal came just before halftime, with Brahim Díaz finding the net in the 45th minute. The assist was provided by Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who launched a long throw that set Díaz on his way.

Díaz, who has been a key player for Real Madrid during the 2025-2026 season with two goals and nine assists in 42 appearances, also played a significant role for Morocco in the 2026 World Cup, contributing four assists as they reached the quarterfinals. His goal in this friendly match showcased his attacking prowess.

The win marks Real Madrid's tenth Trofeo Teresa Herrera title, placing them second in the all-time standings behind Deportivo La Coruña, who hold 26 titles. The home team, a storied club in Spanish football, is preparing for its return to the top flight after an eight-year hiatus, with their season opener scheduled for August 17 against Elche.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, will begin their LaLiga campaign on August 22 against Espanyol. Despite winning this friendly trophy, the club has not secured an official title since December 2024, and their primary objective for the upcoming 2026-2027 season will be to break this streak.
