Recovery session

The team was back on the training ground on Monday morning for the first time since losing the Clásico to Real Madrid. It’s a result that has hurt the title challenge, but particularly after Atlético Madrid drew 1-1 at Betis on Sunday, they are still very much in the mix, just two points behind the leaders, who they still have to play, and one behind Real Madrid.

Today’s session was on pitch 2 at the Ciutat Esportiva, where the main focus was on recovery from Saturday’s exertions, but also on commencing plans for this weekend’s Copa del Rey Final versus Athletic Club.

The team will be back on the training ground on Tuesday at the same time, 11.00am CEST.
