The La Liga giants have made sure they have catered for the whim of every player.

And that extends to sleeping too!

BBC Sport report Real's Valdebebas training ground contains 81, five-star bedrooms designed to help players get enough shut-eye.

The training complex grinds to a halt at 1pm, enabling players and staff to have a two-hour siesta.

Real have employed a special sports science team, who help players battle fatigue off the pitch.

Bale, the report claims, isn't an early riser.

Apparently he would struggle to get to sleep after games, often nodding off at around 4am after playing on the Xbox.

Bale and co will be hoping they aren't caught napping tonight (7:45pm) when they tackle crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
