MADRID, Jan 9, 2009 (AFP) - A rare, heavy snowfall in central Spain forced Real Madrid to cancel a training session Friday.

"Snow has paralyzed Madrid ... and Real Madrid," the Spanish champions said on their website.

Several players, employees and football journalists could not get to the Valdebebas training ground northwest of the city as many roads were closed.

"The white blanket covered Valdebebas and forced (coach) Juande Ramos to cancel Friday's session and press conference. The last workout of the week is still scheduled for Saturday," the club said.

Real, currently third in the Primera Liga 12 points behind leaders Barcelona, play at Real Mallorca on Sunday.
