Spanish club Real Madrid held their final training session ahead of their upcoming UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan.
The defending champions will host the Italian team at Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid on Tuesday, eager to make a comeback after a recent 4-0 loss to their fierce rivals, Barcelona, at the end of October.
Following the Ballon d’Or ceremony where star player Vinicius Junior missed out on the award, some believe the team may be especially motivated to deliver a strong performance.
Real Madrid has had additional time to prepare, as their La Liga game against Valencia was postponed due to recent flooding in Spain.
Meanwhile, AC Milan aims to overcome a relatively slow start to their season but faces a significant challenge against Real Madrid, a club they haven’t defeated in the Champions League since 2009. Real Madrid has dominated the matchup, winning five of their last seven home games against the Italian side.
