The nine-time European club champion meets Mexican power Chivas Guadalajara on Saturday at Soldier Field. Then, Real Madrid meets Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy on Monday in Carson, Calif., before heading to Beijing, Tokyo and Bangkok.

"It's a chance to show what European soccer offers," midfielder Jose Maria Gutierrez said during Thursday's news conference.

Saturday's match is the first on a world tour that will include Real Madrid's first game against an MLS opponent in the Galaxy.

For Beckham and Owen, this is the second trip to the U.S. in six weeks. They played here with England's national team in late May.
