The last preseason session did not go as expected for Real Madrid. A scare from Antonio Rüdiger left everyone frozen. The German, when cutting off a strong shot from Alaba during the game, hurt his right knee. He fell to the ground, writhing in pain and calling for medical assistance, who came to his rescue in seconds. The teammates and Ancelotti himself came to see what was happening to him.

Seconds later he stood up, calming down. Of course, he left the pitch limping. Although it seemed like bad news, the first scans ruled out serious discomfort.
