Real Madrid prepare for Shakhtar Donetsk clash

The squad came together for the fifth training session of the week at Real Madrid City as the preparations continued for Tuesday's Champions League Matchday 3 Group D meeting with Shakhtar Donetsk (9pm CET). The workout got underway with a joints warm-up on the grass.

The players then worked on ball circulation, pressing and possession and strategy drills, before completing some tactical work. The session was rounded off with some high-intensity training matches played on a reduced-sized pitch. Eden Hazard and Dani Carvajal trained individually out on the grass, whilst Luka Jović, Gareth Bale and Dani Ceballos trained indoors.
