Five action-packed days, two great matches at two fantastic stadiums, scores of adventures and smiles on millions of faces. Today, Monday, Atletico Madrid rounded off their tour of Australia and headed home, where they will continue their preparations for the big LaLiga Santander kick-off.

Before setting off to catch their plane, the Rojiblancos were put through their paces at a wet AAMI Park. The session featured skills drills, running exercises and a small-sided match for the players who didn't start against Melbourne Victory. Meanwhile, the starters from Sunday's friendly did stretching and jogging.

Atletico's Australian adventure began among kangaroos and ended amid the rain. The LaLiga World programme proved a big hit yet again, as illustrated by the flocks of fans who turned out wherever the Colchoneros went. What's more, it was a particularly special experience for the many players who had never been to the country before, who took their first steps Down Under through LaLiga World.

Now, having left Australia behind them, Atletico Madrid have their sights very much trained on the start of the LaLiga Santander campaign, because #LaLigaReturns in less than three weeks.
