Real Madrid and Barcelona are both on their way back to Spain after finishing their preseason tours in the USA.
Los Blancos got their first triumph against Chelsea, with Brahim Diaz playing a starring role. He scored and gave them a 2-0 lead after a deflected Lucas Vazquez effort. Noni Madueke reduced the gap five minutes before half-time, but that was the end of the scoring.
