# Teresa Herrera: Real Madrid Face Deportivo in Riazor Friendly

## Teresa Herrera: Real Madrid Face Deportivo in Riazor Friendly

Real Madrid continue their pre-season on Wednesday when they travel to face Deportivo A Coruña in the Trofeo Teresa Herrera, with kick-off set for 21:00 CEST (20:00 BST) at the Estadio Abanca-Riazor.

The historic Galician trophy hands José Mourinho another look at his evolving side after [their 2-1 win over Ferencváros](https://readrealmadrid.com/arda-guler-real-madrid-ferencvaros/) in Budapest. With Kylian Mbappé still building fitness and Éder Militão among the absentees, the friendly is a chance for fringe men and new signings to stake a claim before the LaLiga campaign begins.

## How to watch the Teresa Herrera

[According to Bernabéu Digital](https://www.bernabeudigital.com/noticias/donde-deportivo-coruna-real-madrid-fecha-hora-trofeo-teresa-herrera-345367), the match will be shown live in Spain on La 1 and Galician regional channel TVG on 12 August. Supporters in the United Kingdom can follow the 20:00 BST kick-off through the same live coverage.

For the global Madridista audience, the 21:00 Spanish start time translates to 15:00 in New York, 13:00 in Mexico City and 16:00 in Buenos Aires and São Paulo, making it an accessible evening kick-off for fans across the Americas.

## What is at stake in the Teresa Herrera

Silverware in August rarely defines a season, but the Teresa Herrera gives Mourinho valuable minutes as he fine-tunes a rebuilt squad. Deportivo will relish testing themselves against the 15-time European champions in front of a passionate Riazor crowd, offering Los Blancos a sterner examination before the serious business arrives.
