The team completed an intense double session at the Ciudad Real Madrid to continue preparing for the start of the 2026/27 season. Mourinho's squad, without the players who participated in the World Cup or are still competing, trained alongside a group of academy players.

In the afternoon session, the players combined physical work and ball exercises. They began in the gym and, once on the pitch, performed joint warm-ups, additional physical work, and various possession and pressing drills with finishing in mini-goals. After completing running drills, they worked again on ball circulation and pressing. The session concluded with another set of running drills and attack and defense exercises with finishing on goal. 

Earlier, in the first training session of the day, the squad started with gym work. They then performed activation exercises, possession drills, and continued with various ball circulation exercises ending with finishes on goal. The session concluded with several small-sided games. Militão, Mendy, and Rodrygo continue their recovery processes.
