Makes Madrid debut
Cucurella appeared off the bench in Sunday's 3-0 friendly win over Schalke.
Analysis: Cucurella is finally seeing his first minutes with Madrid after spending some time adjusting to the change, with the defender playing 30 minutes from the bench. The defender is expected to be their starter at left-back, a strong upgrade for the team as he comes off a World Cup victory. With his high attacking output despite a defensive position, he will be one of the better two-way defenders on a team that should score often.
Set for new club
Cucurella is set to train and play with Real Madrid and be an undisputed starter at left back, according to the club.
Analysis: Cucurella made 34 Premier League appearances for Chelsea last season, contributing one goal and four assists before completing his transfer to Real Madrid this summer. He was an essential member of Spain's World Cup winning back line, helping secure seven clean sheets across eight matches while adding two assists in the tournament, and he now brings that level of form to Real Madrid as he takes over the left side of the club's defense heading into the new 2026/27 La Liga season.
