All first division clubs have started their pre-season fixtures, with the exception of Zaragoza, who kick off against West Ham United in England today. Real Madrid have completed a successful tour of the USA, and after playing Hertha Berlin and Leicester City, Mourinho's side are off for another brief tour of China. Madrid virtually pass Barcelona on the way, with Pep Guardiola taking his squad to America to play fixtures against Manchester United, Chivas and America. The Catalans are fresh from a victory in the Audi Cup, where they beat hosts Bayern Munich 0-2 in the final with two goals from under 21 international Thiago. The two Spanish giants will be back though in time for their double-header Spanish Supercup, the curtain raiser to what is promising to be another thrilling season. (30.07.11)
