On Thursday morning at Valdebebas, Real Madrid completed their third training session of the week as they continue preparations for the 2nd-leg clash against Manchester City in the Champions League on August 7th.

In today’s session, head coach Zinedine Zidane broke the team into several groups to work on ball control drills before transitioning into exercises focusing on both defensive and offensive tactics. As is the norm, the training concluded with scrimmages spread across several reduced-size pitches.

There are no injury updates at this time.
