Real Madrid are competing in the Teresa Herrera Trophy for the first time since 2013, as they travel to Galicia to face hosts Real Club Deportivo de A Coruña on Wednesday evening. The annual preseason affair has been running since 1946, paying tribute to the 18th-century Spanish philanthropist Teresa Margarita Herrera y Pedrosa, who was born in A Coruña.Deportivo have played in the match every year since 1990, while Madrid have featured 18 times, lifting the trophy on nine occasions. It’s their penultimate outing of the summer, with the start of the La Liga season closing in. Madrid remain unbeaten in preseason, having edged past Hungarian giants Ferencváros at the weekend. Now, they’re facing up against a Deportivo side that’s celebrating its return to the top flight after an eight-year absence. The 1999–00 La Liga champions even slipped to the third tier but are back in the big time after achieving promotion via a second-place finish in the Segunda last season.Deportivo A Coruna vs. Real Madrid Score PredictionMadrid Secure Preseason TrophyMadrid have returned from a Central Europe excursion. | David Balogh/Getty ImagesDeportivo’s record in this match-up is wretched. This is their first meeting with Real Madrid since 2018, when they lost 7–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, and they haven’t won any of their previous 15 matches against Los Blancos, losing 14. The one-time La Liga winners are on the come-up once more, having sunk to the depths of the third tier during their stark demise. Manager Antonio Hidalgo has aided the resurgence, and Deportivo are out to achieve top-flight stability this season.Facing up against Mourinho’s Madrid will be a useful test before the season gets underway, even if the visitors are without a lengthy list of crucial first-team players. The returning boss will be content with his side’s productivity this summer, but we haven’t exactly seen anything that suggests Madrid will be reinventing the wheel.Still, Mourinho will fancy adding the Teresa Herrera Trophy to his list of honors for the first time.
