Aug. 23, 2005 – Real Madrid 5:0 MLS XI, 27th Trofeo Santiago Bernabeu, Estadio Bernabeu (Att.: 60,000)

The league considered sending the first-place Revolution, and coach Steve Nicol believed that would have been a better option as the MLS XI was blanked by Los Blancos. The “Manita” was no surprise. “If the MLSers are routed, nobody should be shocked …” Goals: Ronaldo (2), Beckham, Guti, Raul.
