Real Madrid trained at UCLA facilities on Thursday morning, with president Florentino Perez, accompanied by Jose Angel Sanchez, in attendance as well.
The president was warmly received, signing autographs and posing with fans just like the most sought-after players.
Supporters thanked him for helping the club win their 14th Champions League title. Others asked for Cristiano Ronaldo's return, while some asked about failed bid to sign Kylian Mbappe.
Clues as to the starting XI
On the field, Carlo Ancelotti and his staff continued their work with the players. The line-up used in the small intrasquad match offered some hints as to a potential line-up.
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Odriozola; Ceballos, Casemiro, Camavinga; Valverde, Benzema and Vinicius lined up without a bib, while Lunin; Lucas Vazquez, Nacho, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Tchouameni, Kroos; Asensio, Hazard and Rodrygo played without one.
The two Castilla goalkeepers, Luis Lopez and Lucas Canizares, were left out of the squad, along with Vinicius Tobias and Jesus Vallejo. They did rejoin the group later however.
The second training session of the day will take place at 17:00, and after, the team will rest until 10:00 on Friday. That will be the last test before Saturday's El Clasico in Las Vegas, a match in which, barring any setbacks, all 28 players should be available.

Unfortunately,Madrid won 2 laliga and 1 Ucl without cristiano but cr5 has never won any major individual award or Ucl since he left Madrid. He went to utd because utd were playing Ucl but now he is running 🏃 from utd that he took to Europa. Perez will never ever re-sign cr5 who is 38yrs now when Madrid axed him even when he was 33yrs. He left Madrid without even say 💭 goodbye and he left for juve and called juve his home 🏠 but now he want to come back by all means to destabilize the team chemistry and scatter the dressing room and then run 🏃 away again because he is not capable of maintaining a relationship 💑 for long.. Sometimes you wonder how selfish, greedy, obsessed ,desperate and shameful some can be just satisfy personal lust.
