Saturday March 19th: Off day & Atleti U19 match – Today was an off day. The boys had the option to do whatever they wanted but with how packed their schedule has been in the last few days, most just decided to stay in and rest. In the evening, the entire squad was invited to attend the Atletico Madrid U19 match vs. CD Badajoz sub. Of course, the team went to cheer them on.
Sunday March 20th: Three sessions – Back to the grind. After a nice day of rest, the boys started their day back in the gym followed by an intense training session. In the evening, they returned back to the pitch for light tactical session.
