The players trained at Real Madrid City and began preparations for the second leg of the Champions League last 16, when Ancelotti's side take on Atlético at the Metropolitano (Wednesday, 9 pm CET).

Those in the starting line-up for the win against Rayo carried out recovery work inside the facilities. The rest of the squad, along with several players from Castilla, carried out ball-retention drills, possession and tactical exercises. To finish the session, they played a game in reduced spaces. Ceballos and Vallejo continued with their recovery programmes.
