I believe if a team doesn't play very well or doesn't take it seriously when the opponent is below them in quality, but if the opponent is a team that is equal or can be said to be better, this can be a good opportunity to prove themselves as the best. Apart from that, it must be admitted that Real Madrid is indeed still better than Manchester United and that is a fact that they might still maintain if they meet later in the Champions League competition.

Talking about La Liga, of course Ancelotti is very happy with the performance of his players so far and they will definitely continue to maintain their consistency later when La Liga starts. Indeed, even from last season, Barcelona was a team that was quite difficult to beat in La Liga and Real Madrid had to make full efforts with its new squad to break this bad trend when they met Barcelona.

Anyway, the next pre-season game will bring Real Madrid against Barcelona and this is also the El Clasico match on the pre-season tour in America.

Yes, that's true, but when we meet in the Champions League later, I'm still sure that Manchester United can still give a draw against Real Madrid, so it might make it difficult for Real Madrid to win like this pre-season game.

Ancelotti can definitely give the best for Real Madrid so that in the next match against Barcelona there is still a high chance of winning for Real Madrid.
I don't know if many agree or not, but for Real Madrid vs Barcelona in this pre-season I assume Real Madrid can win.

For a draw, I think it can still happen, but if it's for a two-legged match, it's certain that Real Madrid will send Manchester United home first. Regarding El Clasico matches in the pre-season, there is no doubt that in depth the Barcelona squad lost to Real Madrid for this season and the fact that Real Madrid is much bigger now is also unavoidable. Barcelona previously lost against Arsenal in pre-season and however they should not take pre-season games as an excuse for when they lose. Every team with the same level will certainly make it a pre-season match as a benchmark in facing real competition later.
