After a short pep talk from coach Niko Kovac, the outfield players began their warm-up programme, while the goalkeepers completed their first exercises between the posts. This was followed by an intensive passing drill, which also involved the Champions League balls for the upcoming match against Villarreal. The focus then shifted to technical fine tuning.
