Kylian Mbappé, Dean Huijsen, and Carlos Espí all found the net as Real Madrid concluded their pre-season preparations with a comfortable 3-0 victory over FC Schalke 04.
José Mourinho's side displayed sharp finishing and tactical authority at the VELTINS-Arena, ensuring the Spanish giants finished their summer schedule undefeated.
The match marked the 25th anniversary of Schalke's home ground opening, but the hosts quickly found themselves under relentless pressure against high-calibre opposition.
Mbappé opened the scoring in just the sixth minute, capitalising on early attacking dominance to put Madrid ahead with a clinical finish.
The visitors doubled their advantage in the 20th minute when Arda Güler delivered a precise corner into the heart of the penalty area.
Huijsen rose highest to meet Güler's delivery, steering a superb header beyond the reach of the goalkeeper to make it 2-0.
Schalke sought ways back into the contest before the interval, while Mbappé picked up a yellow card in the 40th minute during a competitive spell.
Madrid maintained control following the restart and effectively ended any hopes of a Schalke fightback twelve minutes into the second half.
Alvaro Carreras supplied a pinpoint cross from the left flank, allowing substitute Espí to convert with a well-placed close-range header.
The German outfit continued to battle in front of their home supporters, but Madrid's defence remained disciplined to preserve the clean sheet.
The result capped a fruitful pre-season campaign of three wins and one draw for Mourinho's squad ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
