Real Madrid's stars looked focussed as they trained at their Valdebebas sports complex on the eve on Saturday's clash with Athletic Bilbao.
Gareth Bale appeared to be in fine physical shape despite starting two games for Wales during the international break.
Bale is seen as Real's chief attacking talisman following the summer departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
And Bale has risen to the challenge of his heightened status so far by scoring in each of Real's three La Liga fixtures this term.
Real will be hoping to maintain their perfect league record by registering a fourth straight win when Bilbao visit the Bernabeu this weekend.
A Real victory is far from a forgone conclusion though as they failed to beat Bilbao last season when the sides played out two draws.
Captain Sergio Ramos led the squad in training drills as Real focussed on passing and pressing, before playing practice matches on a reduced-sized pitch.
