Real Madrid lost 1-0 to Arsenal in the pre-season Emirates Cup tournament yesterday although their bigger worry was a serious knee injury to midfielder Wesley Sneijder.
Dutch playmaker Sneijder left the field on a stretcher after an hour following a heavy challenge by Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby. Arsenal won the match with a 49th-minute penalty by Emmanuel Adebayor after Michel Salgado had fouled Robin van Persie.
Earlier, Hamburg SV defeated Juventus 3-0, a victory that secured them first place in the tournament.
