New Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez said there was room for improvement after his side unconvincingly beat Galatasaray 2-1 in Tuesday evening's Trofeo Santiago Bernabeu, their last friendly before the La Liga season starts next weekend.
A Nacho Fernandez first half headed goal for Madrid was cancelled out by Wesley Sneijder's classy strike against his old side, and the game seemed headed for penalties until Marcelo waltzed through the visiting defence for a late winner.
Benitez's side looked particularly rusty in attack, with Gareth Bale putting in a mixed display as a No. 10, and Cristiano Ronaldo looking slightly off as he returned from the back problem which saw him miss Madrid's previous three warm-up games.
