Yasiel Puig watches on

The man who has scored 228 goals for Madrid was joined by Yasiel Puig, a star of the LA Dodgers baseball team. Puig, born in Cienfuegos, Cuba, made the most of a rest day with his own team to watch Zinedine Zidane take training.

The 26-year-old right fielder is a big Madrid supporter, and watched the session in a personalised shirt with his name and number (66). Puig joins Trevor Ariza and Lucas Nogueira in the list of elite sportsmen to have passed through UCLA to watch Madrid train.
