Training Session
Nacho Defender
After yesterday's win against Villarreal, the squad trained at Real Madrid City with their attentions turned to the next La Liga match day, where they will take on Rayo Vallecano (Saturday, 4:00pm, CEST). Gareth Bale rejoined the group and undertook running and shooting exercises alone before finishing the session with the rest of his teammates. Real Madrid Castilla players Borja Mayoral, Martin Odegaard and Marcos Llorente also took part in the session.
The ball took centre stage in the training session. The players, who were split into groups, practiced possession and pressing in a variety of exercises, before finishing with exercises geared toward crossing and shots on goal. The players who played the most minutes against Villarreal used the indoor facilities. Toni Kroos did some running exercises alone on the pitch.
