Prior to their next match, the team practiced at Real Madrid City following a decisive Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund. On La Liga matchday eleven (Saturday, 9 p.m. CEST), Real Madrid will host Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu.

On the field and within the facilities, the starting lineup from the game versus Dortmund performed recuperation exercises. Antonio Pintus gave the other members of the squad orders to perform physical labor. After that, they played several small-sided games and finished tactical and possession drills. Brahim worked alone for a portion of the session. While Alaba and Carvajal carried on with their individual rehabilitation programs, Courtois started his own recuperation procedure.
