Have a nice day! M3 Padel Center, the Leganés club where Ale Galán et Fede Chingotto train using the M3 methodology of Jorge MartínezAs the Spanish-Argentine pair prepares for the end of their season, the two players received a prestigious visitor: Trent alexander-arnold.
Currently sidelined with a quadriceps injury for several weeks, the Real Madrid full-back had initially made the trip to see his brothers Tyler et Marcelwho take lessons at the facility. Without knowing what awaited him, the Englishman found himself facing some of the best rackets in the world.
A huge padel enthusiast, he even had a court built in the garden of his property in Liverpool; Trent was able to watch Galán, Chingotto, Fran Guerrero (qualified for the Master Final) or even Manu Castaño, world and Spanish youth champion.
According to the M3 staff, the adopted Madrileño was impressed by the intensity and precision of the work, taking advantage of this moment to exchange with the players and experience a high-level session from the inside.
A surprise visit that further illustrates the growing appeal of padel to top athletes… and a fun nod to Ale Galán, a big Real Madrid fan.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
