We defend the title against the host
Cádiz will be the rival in the semi-finals of the 61st Carranza Trophy. The team from Cádiz and our club are the two teams with more trophies in the tournament and will fight to reach the final and win a new cup.
Penultimate test for Simeone’s team, although this time in an official tournament like the Carranza, one of the summer trophies with greater appeal in Spanish football. It will be the eighth game of our team in the current pre-season. The team comes after the triangular tournament in Leganés and the 2 - 0 win in Alicante against Real Sociedad in a level test against a top category team.
Cádiz will be the rival in the semi-finals this Friday at 22:00. Last season we won the host team 0-1 in the semi-finals of the tournament with a goal from Raúl García. In the final we won the ninth Carranza of our history by defeating Sampdoria by 2 - 0. We are the most successful team of the tournament with nine trophies, ahead of Cádiz that has eight. The other two guests of the tournament are Betis and Granada, which will play the first semi-final at 18:30.
