Real Madrid begin preparations for their Spanish Super Cup semifinal
Xabi Alonso's boys face Atlético on Thursday at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah (8:00 pm CET).
Following the big win over Betis in the opening game of 2026, the team trained at Real Madrid City as they begin preparations for the Spanish Super Cup semifinal. Xabi Alonso’s men are set to face Atlético at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah (Thursday, 8:00 pm CET / 10:00 pm local time).
The starting XI against Betis worked indoors, while the rest of the squad began with activation exercises in the gym and pressing drills out on the pitch. They then moved onto build-up play and transitions, before finishing the session with a small-sided game. Mbappé, Militão, and Trent all continue with their recovery programs.
