Real Madrid vs. Galatasaray: Score, Reaction from 2015 Santiago Bernabeu Trophy

Real Madrid took home the Santiago Bernabeu Trophy in their final warm-up before the La Liga season, beating Galatasaray 2-1 behind goals from Nacho Fernandez and Marcelo.

Wesley Sneijder scored the lone goal for Galatasaray.

It was a mixed bag for Real Madrid, who were the stronger side during the match but weren't without their hiccups, per Dermot Corrigan of ESPN FC:

Not sure Rafa going to be delighted about performance, team still looking very much work in progress, especially front four.

Galatasaray nearly struck first in the 16th minute, as Lukas Podolski broke free in the box and ripped a shot on goal.
