Why Real Madrid’s Training Session Started an Hour Late

Real Madrid is getting ready for the UEFA Champions League, but their training session on September 15 started later than planned.

Details: Insider José Luis Sánchez reported that the session kicked off one hour late because La Liga officials were at Valdebebas to carry out doping tests on the players.

In related news, Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso criticized referee Gil Manzano after the match against Real Sociedad. The main issue arose in the first half when defender Dean Huijsen received a red card, a decision many within the club felt was too harsh.

Reminder: Real Madrid will start their new Champions League campaign against French team Marseille. This match is scheduled for Tuesday, September 16.
