LA Galaxy to Host Real Madrid in 2012: A Must-See Event
On August 2, 2012, the highly anticipated match between LA Galaxy and Real Madrid took place at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. This was part of Real Madrid's four-game U.S. tour and attracted a stadium soccer-record crowd of 30,317 spectators[1][2].
The game was a significant event, with Real Madrid's squad led by Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who had scored an impressive 45 goals in the league and 58 in all competitions at that time. Iker Casillas led Real Madrid's defense in goal for Jose Mourinho's squad.
For LA Galaxy, the game was a special occasion, marking the fourth time they faced Real Madrid in Southern California. David Beckham, who made his Southern California debut in the last meeting at The Home Depot Center in 2005, was part of the LA Galaxy team.
The match was a part of the World Football Challenge. LA Galaxy COO, Chris McGowan, stated that the game will be a must-see event. Tickets for the game could be found on TicketCenter.com. More information about the Real Madrid visit could be found on lagalaxy.com/realmadrid.
It is worth noting that this was the first time the two sides met at The Home Depot Center since 2005. The Home Depot Center was the usual venue for LA Galaxy's home matches. This was also the second friendly for LA Galaxy at the Home Depot Center this Summer.
