Madrid join minute's silence for COVID-19 victims

Before starting their training session on Wednesday, Real Madrid held a minute's silence for the coronavirus victims. According to the figures, more than 27,000 people have now passed away in Spain.

On the occasion of national mourning, the full Real Madrid squad held a minute's silence for the coronavirus victims, just before they started their training session on Wednesday.

Los Blancos wanted to pay particular homage to the thousands of people who have passed away because of the terrible pandemic, which now surpasses 27,000, with 237,000 confirmed cases.

They did so by forming a centre circle around one of the Valdebebas training pitches, as a sign of respect.

Zidane is focussing on preparing his players ahead of the possible return of La Liga on 11th June. The good news is that they can already count on Hazard and Asensio, who increased the pace, but Nacho and Valverde will have to take it easy.
