The players trained at Real Madrid City and began preparations for the matchday 27 LaLiga game which sees Ancelotti’s men take on Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabéu (Sunday, 4.15 pm CET).

The session got underway with a 40-minute workout in the gym. Afterwards, they were divided into groups for ball-retention drills and completed a tactical section. They finished the training session with games in reduced spaces. Those who did not play against Atlético did fitness work with finishing in front of goal. Valverde trained inside the facilities. Vallejo and Ceballos continued with their recovery programmes.
