Asensio: “We're ready for our first competitive game'
“The key thing was to gain match fitness ahead of the new season', added Valverde.
Marco Asensio was the scorer of the second goal in the win over Juventus and he assessed the team's last pre-season friendly: 'It was a really good performance. We wanted to finish off on a high and we managed that. We were up against a great side and the way we played and our intensity is approaching what we want to see this season. We're ready for our first competitive game'.
“It's been a really good, tough pre-season, we're on the right track. We have a squad full of experience and youth at the same time. We're excited to try and win as many trophies as possible this season and we're preparing to do just that'.
