Real Madrid begin their 2019/20 La Liga season on Saturday with a trip to Celta Vigo when fans get a first glimpse of the new-look team.

Headlined by the €100 million arrival of Belgian forward Eden Hazard, Real Madrid spent over €300m on new players, with Serbian striker Luka Jovic, Brazilian defender Eder Militao, and French left-back Ferland Mendy also recruited to give fresh impetus to a team that disappointed last season.

Ahead of the first game of the Spanish league season, Real Madrid players took part in a final training session on Friday at their training complex, including Gareth Bale - the Welsh forward Zinedine Zidane has been desperate to offload all summer.
