Real Madrid has been given the green light by UEFA to host their upcoming Champions League match against Manchester City with a closed roof at the Santiago Bernabeu. This decision comes after the LaLiga giants recently installed a retractable roof in their stadium as part of a renovation project.
The move to play the quarter-final first leg game under a closed roof is aimed at enhancing the atmosphere inside the stadium as Real Madrid look to seek revenge against the reigning European champions. The approval from UEFA was granted following a pre-match technical meeting where match referee Francois Letexier was consulted.
This decision follows Real Madrid’s previous experience of playing a match under a closed roof, as they faced RB Leipzig in the second leg of their last-16 tie. The club believes that closing the roof will create a more intense and electrifying environment for both the players and the fans.
By incorporating a closed roof for this crucial match, Real Madrid is hoping to gain a competitive edge and create a memorable experience for all those in attendance. The stage is set for an exciting showdown between two footballing giants, and the closed roof adds an extra layer of intrigue to what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
