The players who started against Getafe did recovery work in the gym, while the rest of the squad began with a series of warm-up exercises focusing on movement and mobility on the pitch. The players then split into groups, practised crossing and finishing, and completed a tactical stage. The session ended with several matches on a small pitch. Ceballos, Huijsen, Rüdiger and Carvajal continued with their recovery programmes. Trent trained with the group for part of the session.
