The team begins Champions League preparations

The squad underwent its first training session at Ciudad Real Madrid in preparation for the last-16 return leg of the Champions League, which will be played at the Santiago Bernabéu against PSG Wednesday, 9pm CET. 

Those who started the game against Real Sociedad did some recovery work, while the rest of the players started by working out in the gym and the goalkeepers underwent specific drills. The session then moved to the grass and featured ball-retention drills, possession and pressing exercises, before ending with a game on a smaller pitch. Valverde completed the session with the group, while Kroos and Marcelo worked out inside the facilities.
