During their presence at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to watch the Athletic Bilbao match in the Spanish League, Real Madrid fans announced an important decision in preparation for the match against Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Real Madrid is scheduled to meet City in the first leg of the quarter-finals at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where the Royal Club’s fans hope to play a major role in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad achieving a positive result.
During the 77th minute of the Bilbao match, the fans announced that the Santiago Bernabeu would be wearing white in order to increase the motivation of the Merengue players on the one hand and put pressure on Pep Guardiola’s squad on the other hand.
The fans carried a banner in the Spanish capital’s stadium that read, “April 9, 2024…the Bernabéu will be white.”
Real Madrid players immediately reacted to this exceptional gesture, as Rodrigo expressed how happy he was with the idea, saying, “Seeing the stadium this way will be wonderful. I hope the whole audience will wear white clothes.”
Santiago Bernabeu had a great impact on Real Madrid against City, and the talk here is about the semi-final match in the season before last. Thanks to the exceptional atmosphere, the Royal team succeeded in returning in the last moments with the famous Rodrigo goal and then reaching the final match in extra time.
But last season, the first leg of the semi-final between the two teams at the same stadium ended 1-1, before Real Madrid exited the competition with a 4-0 loss in the second leg at Al-Ittihad Stadium.
