The pre-season is in full swing, with all the "La Liga" sides playing their warm-up fixtures. League champions Barcelona are touring the States, with a first match against David Beckham's LA Galaxy, and Real Madrid will be following them out there in the next few days, with games in Toronto and Washington. Meanwhile the big summer tournaments start next week (Peace Cup permitting), with Deportivo, Recreativo and Cádiz all hosting their own shows. (07.08.09)
