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.
