Real Madrid warmed up for their La Liga clash with Rayo Vallecano at Santiago Bernabéu by partaking in a bout of ‘El Rondo’ today.

The Los Blancos stars threw themselves into their ball retention (piggy in the middle) drill and had poor Raphaël Varane and Pepe chasing gorgeous shadows for an age. Showboating matters escalated rapidly as, sparked by Marcelo, players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Fábio Coentrão cracked out the flicks and back-heels. Nice to see the lads still have some energy after their midweek exertions against Liverpool’s reserve team.

Attention sculpted calf-muscle lovers, James Rodriguez (bottom right of the screen) has been working hard on his definition. Hat-tip to 101greatgoals for the clip.
