Madrid: Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos admitted all the players 'want to finish La Liga' and said the resumption of football could boost people's morale.
Real Madrid is expected to be back in action on Monday.
“Soccer is secondary right now,” Madrid defender Sergio Ramos said hoping also to win La Liga at the end of the season.
"I think all of us want the remaining La Liga matches to finish and also the Champions League game (against Manchester City), in order to return to normality, but it doesn't depend just on us. We have to be disciplined and cautious following the government and La Liga measures. Football is not important right now. The important thing is to erase between all of us of the virus for good because there is high risk of a second wave during the winter. We need to beat the virus. Football is secondary right now because our main priority is to stay healthy. Of course, I am wishing to return to play at the Santiago Bernabeu, to play football, but specially to finish all the competition."
Spain this week started loosening some of the lockdown measures that had been in place since mid-March because of the pandemic, allowing soccer players to resume training individually at the teams' base camps.
The league sent clubs a detailed four-stage protocol for the return to practice. The individual training will be followed by smaller group sessions and then full-squad sessions.
