Real Madrid completed their final training session on May 16 before Sunday’s LaLiga match at Sevilla, the club said on its official website. The session took place at Ciudad Real Madrid ahead of matchday 37, the penultimate round of the league season. Real Madrid said the game will be played at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. CEST.

Real Madrid said the squad opened the May 16 workout with activation drills, rondos and reaction-speed exercises. The session then moved into possession work, followed by a practice match, before ending with finishing drills on goal. The club did not list any separate injury bulletin in the training report. (realmadrid.com) Ciudad Real Madrid was the site of both the May 16 session and the previous day’s workout as the team prepared for Sevilla. In the May 15 report, the club said players who started in the win against Oviedo did recovery work in the gym while the rest of the squad trained on the pitch. (realmadrid.com) ### Why was Álvaro Arbeloa leading the preparations? Álvaro Arbeloa was identified by Real Madrid in multiple training reports this spring as the coach in charge of the side. The club’s April 17 report ahead of Alavés referred to “Arbeloa’s side,” and the May 4 training update used the same wording before a league match at Barcelona. The May 16 training note did not add further explanation, but the club’s own coverage consistently placed Arbeloa in charge of the group during these sessions. (realmadrid.com) Real Madrid’s homepage on May 17 also carried an Arbeloa interview alongside the Sevilla training item. In that interview teaser, the club quoted him as saying: “It hurts me when we don’t win because of the hopes of so many people resting on our shoulders.” The homepage did not provide more context in the snippet shown. ### What is at stake in the Sevilla match?
