Press reports revealed that Álvaro Arbeloa has decided to adjust the approach used in Real Madrid's preparations for UEFA Champions League matches, compared to what was practiced during Xabi Alonso's tenure.

According to sources, Real Madrid will hold a training session on Tuesday at Estádio da Luz, Benfica's home ground, in preparation for the anticipated match between the two teams in the Champions League next Wednesday.

Xabi Alonso, the former Real Madrid coach, adopted a different approach, preferring the team to train at Real Madrid's sports city instead of holding the final training session at the opponent's stadium.

Arbeloa's decision comes as part of his efforts to reintroduce some traditional details in the team's European preparations, giving players the opportunity to acclimate to the stadium atmosphere before the official match. This step reflects his unique touch in managing the team during continental competitions.
