Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola praised the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, but he complained about only one thing.
City returned after a 3-3 draw with Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in the heart of the Spanish capital.
The match was held with the roof of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium closed in order to increase the impact of the fans, and Guardiola admitted that the atmosphere was wonderful.
But at the same time, the Spanish coach considered that the worst thing about the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium currently is the bad grass on the floor that Manchester City players complained about.
The “philosopher” asked Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to work on repairing it as soon as possible so that the stadium would be without crises.
Perhaps Guardiola, in his speech, brought to mind the current Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez, who is always famous for his talk about grass and his criticism of various stadiums.
In general, Guardiola also considered that playing under the sky and not under a closed roof is what he prefers, but he is happy with the experience and the wonderful atmosphere at the Royal Club Stadium.
