Real Madrid has been granted their request by UEFA to seal the roof of Santiago Bernabeu for their Champions League clash against Manchester City. The decision aims to intensify the atmosphere as they face the reigning European champions in a crucial quarter-final showdown.
Madrid sought permission to utilize the retractable roof of their renovated stadium, believing it would enhance the ambiance for this pivotal encounter. This move follows their recent experience of playing under a closed roof during the second leg of their last-16 tie against RB Leipzig.
As the stage is set for the high-stakes match, Manchester City faces challenges of their own, traveling without key defenders Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake due to injuries.
Following this Champions League fixture, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad will swiftly shift focus to La Liga, where they aim to maintain their title charge against Mallorca.
Real Madrid’s strategic move to control the atmosphere underscores their determination to gain an edge in their pursuit of European glory.
