Real Madrid completed their pre-season tour of Australia with a crushing 4-1 friendly win over a depleted Manchester City in front of a record crowd of 99,382 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground yesterday.

Rafa Benitez celebrated his first win in charge of the La Liga glamour side since replacing Carlo Ancelotti and clinched his first piece of silverware. The International Champions Cup may not take pride of place in the Spaniard’s trophy cabinet, but Benitez was pleased with his forwards’ ruthless demolition of a City side missing three leading central defenders. — Reuters
