Real Madrid complete last training session before European Super Cup final

Real Madrid completed their final training session in the Spanish capital, with a morning session on Monday, before wrapping up preparations for the European Super Cup on Tuesday at the venue, the National Stadium in Warsaw, where they take on Atalanta for the first of the seven titles they can win in the new season.

The short time available to Carlo Ancelotti to prepare for the European Super Cup with all the players available in his squad is over. Just four training sessions with the full squad and the only absentee was Austrian defender David Alaba, still recovering from the serious knee injury he suffered last season.

The Italian coach made the most of the training time to focus on tactical aspects of the work on the pitch, instilling the adjustments to be made following the departure of German Toni Kroos and the arrival of Frenchman Kylian Mbappe.

On Monday, the Madrid squad started work in the gym and, on the pitch, they carried out possession, passing and finishing exercises with shots on goal. As usual, the morning was rounded off with intense games on small pitches and a series of shots on goal to fine-tune their aim ahead of Wednesday's clash with Europa League champions Atalanta in Warsaw (21:00).

The last training session before the European Super Cup final will be completed in Warsaw, starting at 20:00 at the National Stadium, where Madrid kick off their season on 14th August with their first match, which they hope to extend until 13th July 2025, the date of the final of the new Club World Cup.
