Here’s a bit of footage from Saturday’s training session at UCLA.
It’s hard to say who will make the starting XI, but we’re seeing plenty of attention paid to Angel di Maria, CR, Pepe, Higuaín, and Lass. Kaká is expected to be out there today, and we hope to see Iker, Ramos, and Xabi Alonso.
The jury is out on Benzema, but we can confirm without any shred of a doubt that the French-Algerian striker is in TOP form.
Any imaginative fan of the American game has probably wondered what would happen if our best players were to face off against one of the European giants. Well, the time has come.
