The competition’s ruler feels compelled to return to the field when the UEFA Champions League hisn sounds in an effort to reclaim a trophy that Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City stole from him last season. As a result, following their victory over Real Sociedad, Carlo Ancelotti’s team has switched into “champions mode” in preparation for their upcoming midweek match against Union Berlin at the Santiago Bernabeu (18:45 h; Movistar Liga de Campeones).

The white club announced that the training began with a gym session and that the players who were named starters yesterday engaged in recovery work. A “recovery” that Jude Bellingham posted on social media in an effort to have the best possible Champions debut. The spectators and those who chose not to play engaged in posession exercises and porter-targeting missiles.

Mendy and the sale of the balls

A few details were revealed by the Real Madrid images that were shared. Due to the numerous injuries, Ferland Mendy, who rejoined the group for morning practice in Valdebebas, continues with his unique plan to resume competition once he reaches 100%. The French lateral player kicked a ball during the first practice to be ready for his European debut. He can see Fran Garcia passing by his left as he climbs onto his motorcycle.

Additionally, Dani Ceballos, who was the biggest surprise on the Real Madrid roster for the most recent league game, continues to pick up speed with each practice that goes by. The two-month-old lesion in the distal tendon of the right biceps femoral muscle has healed in the Spanish center-campist. Al 19, who recently received a renewal following a successful season finale, is now accompanied by a vendaje in his left thigh to protect him during the last stage of his recovery.
