Ronaldo poses with Beckham at Real Madrid training camp in LA

Real Madrid's Galacticos added to the sparkle of Tinseltown as they prepared for the coming La Liga season with the help of one of their former heroes.
David Beckham popped down to the UCLA campus in Los Angeles, where the Spanish club are training for the fourth consecutive summer, to catch up with some former teammates and current superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
Carlo Ancelotti's men looked in good shape as they ready themselves for the league kick-off on August 18 with a four-stop tour of the United States.

Real Madrid training in Los Angeles

First up are the Los Angeles Galaxy, another of Beckham's former clubs, in the early hours of Friday morning, before visits to Phoenix, Miami and Saint Louis.

Ronaldo posed with Beckham after training and signed shirts and footballs for lucky fans who had come down to the university to watch their favourites in action.

It was a chance for new manager Carlo Ancelotti to put the squad through their paces and Ronaldo looked to have quickly rediscovered the goalscoring touch that delivered him 55 goals in 55 games last season.

Having returned to training a fortnight ago, Real began their pre-season with a 6-0 win over Championship side Bournemouth at the Goldsands Stadium, a game in which Ronaldo scored twice.

They then scored twice in the last 12 minutes to earn a 2-2 draw with Lyon at the Stade Gerland, before Karim Benzema strike settled Saturday's match with Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg.

Real take on the Galaxy in the Guinness International Champions Cup with the game unusually being played in Phoenix, Arizona. Win or lose, they will return to LA to play either Juventus or Everton in the next phase of the tournament.

Gareth Bale could be a Madrid player by that time after Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy reluctantly accepted the 24-year-old Welshman wants to leave the club for the nine-time European champions.

Bale will command a world-record fee of £85m, with a player, possibly Angel Di Maria or Fabio Coentrao, heading in the opposite direction.
