RReal Madrid had trial start of the season. They started a campaign against the brash and very stubborn side of Almería. The Andalusian side maintained their narrow lead for a good 60 minutes before goals from Lucas Vzques and David Alaba in the last third of the game confirmed Real Madrid’s comeback last weekend. Los Blancos once again demonstrated their remarkable ability to turn the game around from a losing position, even if it was against a freshly promoted team from the south of Spain.
The team has been hard at work this week at the training ground, preparing for the game against Celta de Vigo this coming Saturday. Players will not decorate the finely cut grass with a new and rather spectacular Santiago Bernabe until the third game week, given that both of these first two games are played away from home.
In preparation for training, the players took part in traditional shooting. Players like Toni Kross, Luka Modric, newcomers Antonio Ruediger, Lucas Vazquez, Dani Ceballos and Karim Benzema demonstrated their phenomenally precise finish at the training session that took place at the end of the session. Players hope to repeat the same result during the season with an updated football club barcelona in hot pursuit.

Benzema also showed some great footwork, as he managed to effectively dodge not two, but three players who were trying to take the ball away from him. French is really like a good wine, it only gets better and better with age.
