Real Madrid to play exhibitions in Canada and US
MADRID — Spanish soccer powerhouse Real (Ray’Al) Madrid has added a preseason exhibition in Canada to its North American tour this summer.
The club said on its Web site Wednesday that Madrid will play Toronto FC at BMO Field on Aug. 7 — two days before a previously announced game in Washington against DC United at FedEx Field.
Madrid finished runner-up to archrival Barcelona in the Spanish league this season.
The club this week appointed Florentino Perez as its new president and Manuel Pellegrini as coach.
