CHICAGO—After the 2017 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target ended 1-1 following regulation, Real Madrid came away with a (4-2) win on penalties. The win wasn't the only thing, of course, for Madridistas to be happy about. The European champions brought along their A-squad (save for Cristiano Ronaldo) for the outing, with nearly every bold-face name on the team earning some minutes and waving to fans from the sidelines.
Here are a few up-close views, from warm-ups to whistle, of megastars like Isco, Marcelo, Casemiro, Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema, and Gareth Bale.
Here's the calm before the storm....
Some Real Madrid legends appeared for the proceedings, too. Here's Raul, of course.
Keylor Navas warmed up well....

During the second half, Marcelo, warming up alongside his teammates, jogged back to the sideline, and then back to surprise-gift a fan his shirt.

Kiko Casilla stopped to speak to press for a while, but didn't love speaking about his biggest rivals.
Good night and safe travels, Karim Benzema!
