LaLiga Futures: Madrid perfect, Orlando and River surprise, Barcelona on brink of elimination

Real Madrid qualified for LaLiga Futures quarter-finals with two wins; Barcelona and Villarreal need help to advance from their group.

Real Madrid won both matches on day one of the tenth LaLiga Futures International tournament, securing mathematical qualification for Saturday's quarter-finals in Orlando. The club beat Getafe narrowly and Atlético Madrid more convincingly. In the Andalusian group, Sevilla and Betis each have four points and will advance with a derby draw tomorrow. Barcelona and Villarreal, underperforming their usual standards, need external help. Orlando impressed in the international groups and must wait for River's result against Palmeiras to stay alive.
