Temporary Home of Real Madrid

Santiago Bernabéu has served the home of Real Madrid for many decades and seen the football club win multiple domestic and international championships. But on April 7, Real Madrid will be playing the final leg of its UEFA Champions League quarter-final fixture with Liverpool away from the legendary stadium, despite being the home team.

Alfredo Di Stefano, which can accommodate up to 6,000 people, will serve as the temporary home of the Real Madrid club while the Bernabéu undergoes renovation work.

Despite not playing an all-important UEFA Champions League match at their usual stadium, Pérez believes the future is bright for the club and the brand new Santiago Bernabéu.

“For many more unforgettable moments at home, we present you the Santiago Bernabéu of the future,” Pérez said in the press release.
