Training, Mariano, The Return of Xabi And More

Hello! I’ve been off the grid since last week because mygypsyspirit came for a visit and we were busy catching up and eating all the things. Seriously, ALL the things.

Training

The team had their second session of the week in preparation for Saturday’s match vs. Leganés. (Video)

A Visitor

Olympic and European canoeing champion (and total hottie) Cristian Toro came to visit the team before the training session and posed for pictures. (Video)

Mariano Returns

Mariano has returned to Real Madrid after a season at Lyon. His new deal spans 5 years.

Xabi Is Back!

And we have another returnee to the family – one that I am ridiculously excited about. Xabi is back and coaching Infantil A!

Ah, the joy of seeing Xabi wearing the escudo and running around Valdebebas. I can’t wait.

Tomorrow, we find out who we face in the Champions League.
