Cristiano appears to not be letting the rain and the criticism get to him. Stay strong, Commander! We need your magic on Sunday for El Clasico.
The team did their training today in soggy conditions. (Video) Martin Odegaard and Rubén Yáñez of Castilla joined training along with Real Madrid C players Cantero and Cristian Cedrés. Sami was absent with gastroenteritis (animo!) and Dani Pachecho was out for personal reasons.
The Baby had a chance to be the cover model for the April issue of Men’s Health France. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the pictures.
