Leicester finalising glamour preseason friendly with Real Madrid

Leicester City are set to play Real Madrid later this year at Walkers stadium.

Leicester are set to play host to Real Madrid at the Walkers Stadium on July 30 in what promises to be one of the pre-season glamour games of the summer, says the Daily Mail.

Although not officially confirmed by the club yet, the fixture is certain to sell out with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Xabi Alonso and Mesut Ozil on show.

Real Madrid fielded a strong side when they took on Plymouth in a pre-season friendly in 2006.

Fabio Capello was in charge as the La Liga outfit beat Ian Holloway's men 1-0 in Austria, courtesy of a 75th minute Julio Baptista penalty.
