Gareth Bale missed a penalty while David Alaba made his Real Madrid debut in their preseason goalless draw against AC Milan in Austria on Sunday.
Alaba made his first appearance for Carlo Ancelotti's side since moving on a free transfer from Bayern Munich this summer. Madrid's only summer signing, the versatile Austrian played the first half against Rossoneri and said:
"Playing my first game with Real Madrid and in front of my home fans has been very positive. The secret has been this team. I feel comfortable in this team.
"I have received a great welcome from day one. I am trying to make the team better with my qualities and help."
Bale, who appeared with number 50, played his first game for the Spanish giants since June 2020 after spending the previous season on loan at Tottenham.
The Wales international made a surprise return to action when he earned a penalty in the first half after David Calabria brought him inside the penalty area.
However, Bale's weak spot kick was saved by goalkeeper Mike Megan and the forward was substituted at half-time as well as at Alaba.
Thibaut Courtois and Luka Modric also made their first presidential appearances for the club after returning from their break after Euro 2020.
Modric came close to breaking the deadlock when he hit the bar in the second half but Madrid failed to find a breakthrough against the Italian side.
Madrid began their LaLiga season on 14 August with a trip to Alves, while Milan began their Serie A campaign a week later with an away game at Sampdoria on 23 August.
