LA Galaxy 1 Real Madrid 4

It was the first time that Beckham had played against Real Madrid since leaving Spain four years ago. Although it took half an hour for Madrid to get the first goal, The Galaxy were no match for 'The Galacticos' and succumbed to obvious superiority. Ten minutes later they were 2-0 down and heading for half-time changes. Donovan came off for The Galaxy while Ronaldo came on for Madrid - 15 minutes later it was 4-0 to Real and Beckham completed his hour-long stint and was also substituted. Five minutes later, The Galaxy made a great attack and Cristman took advantage of some poor goal-keeping to head the ball home for The Galaxy and give them a little pride in their performance.

This was never a true match up, as Real Madrid start off their pre-season and Bruce Arena used the opportunity to throw a few lower-roster players into the mix. Nevertheless, the match served to indicate the current Spanish superiority when it comes to Football at both club and international level.
