The International Champions Cup for 2018 is underway and it stretches through the second week of August as some of the world's biggest clubs use this as an opportunity to try out new players, for position battles and for coaches to figure out what the starting lineup will look like on opening day. The games are being played in nine different countries with majority of them taking place in the United States. Below you'll find information on how to watch every match and the top story of each night.
Manchester United tops Real Madrid in Miami
Real Madrid kicked off its preseason tour with a 2-1 loss to Manchester United, which concluded its preseason tour Tuesday in Miami. Alexis Sanchez and Ander Herrera scored for Manchester United and Karim Benzema found the back of the net for Real Madrid, but it was 18-year-old Vinicius Jr. who was at the center of the attention. The Brazilian prospect, who joined Real Madrid this summer from Brazilian club Flamengo after a $53 million transfer, got the starting nod with Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema by the newly-hired manager Julen Lopetegui and showed flashes of brilliance with his fancy footwork.
"He played a good game. He start slowly growing, just like the rest of the team. He started a little shy, but then he came on in leaps and bounds. He is very young and has to adapt to this style of football and what we ask of players. I thought he played a good game."
