Real Madrid winless preseason campaign has wrapped up with a 0-0 draw against AC Milan in Austria.
Los Blancos looked bright in the opening stages with Luka Jovic denied an early goal before Isco fired just wide of the post.
However, the Spanish giants were presented with a huge chance to edge in front before the break as Gareth Bale won a penalty, but the Welshman’s weak effort was kept out by Mike Maignan.
