This result shows that Real Madrid do not have good youth players from their academy. They have to spend millions because they have no idea how to develop talent.

They need to ask barca for help in the future

Not necessarily because Benfica had a much more experienced team while real had barely & its just a pre season

If you read my comment properly, you would see that i mentioned youth and academy.

Offcourse i knew porto had an older and more experience team on display. Besides pre-season is mainly for fitness and doesn't prove much

Real Madrid were playing with mainly subs and reserves. Players that don't get much playing time. They were up against a much more mature and experienced Benfica side. Do you really just expect a group of players who don't ever really play together to completely dominate the opposition?

If you were smart enough to understand your reply below , you would understand what I meant instead of repeating it and its not porto - it was benfica for dumnone

Madrid played several youth players at the back, none of which are 1st rate youth players besides Varane. This pre-season game means nothing as key players were missing throughout the team.
