The Whites had another training session at Real Madrid City before Ancellotti’s team plays Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu on La Liga matchday nine (Saturday, 9:00pm CET). Prior to the game against Lille, the starting eleven did rehab drills both in the gym and on the field.

Everyone else on the team worked on pressure, control, and having the ball. At the end of the lesson, they played a few games on fields that were not as big. For part of the training lesson, Ceballos worked with the group while Rodrygo worked alone. Brahim, Alaba, and Courtois are all still working on getting better.
