The Whites completed their third session ahead of Monday's game (21:00H CET) in the Santiago Bernabéu. The main news of the day was the returns of Varane and Bale to the pitch. The former worked with the rest of the group while the latter carried out a series of exercises by himself without the ball.
The Whites' training session began with the ball taking centre stage during a kick around game, in which the Castilla players Derik, Medrán and Burgui also took part. Cristiano exercised in the indoor facilities, while Ramos, Khedira and James continue with their recovery work.
