In a preseason friendly that ended on August 17 Beijing time, Real Madrid sealed a 3-0 victory over Bundesliga newcomers Schalke 04, wrapping up their preseason campaign with three wins and one draw, remaining undefeated.

In this match, Real Madrid deployed their first-choice squad. Core figures such as Mbappé, Vinícius, and Valverde were in the starting lineup. Two new arrivals, Bernardo Silva and Konaté, also featured from the beginning.

Just six minutes into the game, Real Madrid's high press forced a back-pass error from the opponent. Mbappé collected the ball, drove into the box, and slotted home a low shot to give Madrid a lightning-fast lead.

Thereafter, Mbappé remained highly active. In the 13th minute, he took a long-range shot that narrowly missed the post.

Two minutes later, Mbappé dribbled past a defender on the left flank, cut inside the box, and attempted a tight-angle shot, which was brilliantly saved by Karius.

In the 20th minute, Güler delivered a corner from the left into the box, and Huijsen headed home to extend Real Madrid's lead to 2-0.

In the 37th minute, Mbappé played a clever through ball, and Vinícius arrived at the far post to meet it with a low shot, but a defender cleared it off the line.

In the 40th minute, Mbappé clashed with an opponent and deliberately shoved him, earning a yellow card from the referee.

After the break, in the 57th minute, Carreras sent in a cross, and the towering 1.94m new striker Espi headed home to secure a 3-0 victory for Real Madrid.

In the 61st minute, Real Madrid's record signing Diomande, who cost over €100 million, and Spain international Cucurella made their debuts for the club.

In the end, Real Madrid held on to their lead until the final whistle. With 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 preseason matches, Mourinho's side remains unbeaten since his return. On August 23 at 3:30 AM Beijing time, Real Madrid will begin their La Liga campaign away against Espanyol.
