The team complete derby preparations #RealMadridvsATL #CopaDelRey

All set for the second leg of the Copa del Rey last 16. Real Madrid completed their last training session ahead of the match against Atlético at the Santiago Bernabéu (Thursday, 20:00 CET), in which they will look to turn the tie around. Carlo Ancelotti oversaw a session that saw regular participant Álvaro Medrán joined by Real Madrid C goalkeeper Álex Craninx.

The only absences from the training pitch were Arbeloa, who did work indoors at the club's facilities, and Modric, who continues with his recovery process. The rest of the players underwent a session in which ball work took centre stage and which got underway with the Whites split into two 'rondo' possession drills.
