Real Madrid landed in Los Angeles to kick off their pre-season tour of the United States, which will feature a 'Clasico' in Dallas against Barcelona.
The Spanish giants arrived after a 12-hour flight, not long after Barca, who also travelled on Wednesday to the City of Stars as part of their own pre-season tour.
"Los Angeles, we're HERE!", tweeted Madrid's official account at 3am on Thursday with a photo of Jude Bellingham arriving in Hollywood.
Several players like Vinicius Jr, Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and Rodrygo, who had extra days of holiday after representing their countries in international qualifiers and friendlies, did not fly with the team but will meet their team directly at their LA hotel.

Training in Los Angeles will begin on Thursday at UCLA, where Carlo Ancelotti's side trained last year.
Although they will be in Los Angeles at the same time, it will be difficult for Madrid and Barcelona to coincide in the Californian city as 'Los Blancos' have opted for the west (around Beverly Hills and Westwood), while the Catalans will stay in the centre (Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown Hotel) and will train at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (the stadium of the 1932 and 1984 Olympic Games).
With 25 players called up, Madrid will play their first friendly of this tour at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Los Angeles County, against Milan.
The team will be in Los Angeles until Tuesday 25th. From there, they will travel to Houston to face Manchester United. They will then head to Dallas to take on the aforementioned 'Clasico' against Barcelona on Saturday 29th and, finally, they will face Juventus before returning to Spain.
