Real Madrid Start Preparing El Clásico - Bernabéu Bites 10-24-2013

• Players are back in training mode. El Clásico will be played Saturday (18:00 CET) and Ancelotti's men can't afford a single day off. There are no injuries, so Ancelotti divided his crew into the players that started the match against Juventus and the ones who didn't. As always, the first group's session was focused on recovery.

• Real Madrid unveiled a statue for former striker Ferenc Puskas. Some Puskas' teammates like Gento were there, and so was Puskas' wife. The statue will stay in Valdebebas. Puskas is already a Real Madrid legend and it was nice to see this good tribute coming from the club.

• According to Carlo Ancelotti's words, Gareth Bale is ready to start a match. Will we see him starting El Clásico?

• Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal spoke to Spanish radiostation Onda Cero and said that "It would be good to play for Real Madrid".
