Xabi Alonso will see the party from the terracing by sanction. It will find to Raúl, that will encourage to his ex team.

Diego Coast and Burn Turan centred good part of the aims of the media during the last preparatory session in the stadium Gives Luz. Diego Simeone did not give any track and the two players, that trained with apparent normality with the group, although they are doubt.
