For almost a year, Real Madrid has been prevented from welcoming concerts to the Bernabéu, following the discovery of an soundproofing problem. This situation has led to a significant loss of income, even if work is underway so that these events can resume in this emblematic stage as quickly as possible.
But a new problem was revealed by COPE and Cadena Ser (via Sport) journalists. Manolo Loma said that the stadium was “like a sauna” when his roof was closed in Saturday's victory against Espanyol, and that it also affected the players, according to Miguel Ruiz.
“I will insist on a detail. It is very hot at Santiago Bernabéu, the roof is closed and in the 10th minute of the second period, taking advantage of a problem with Mbappé, the whole team went to the bench to drink water and hydrate. »»
In addition, Antón Meana, of Cadena Ser, stressed that the closed roof of the Bernabéu stadium caused a “greenhouse effect”. In addition, many Real Madrid supporters, especially the older ones, would have complained about the ambient heat during the matches. It will therefore be interesting to see if measures will be taken.
Florentino Perez decided to close the roof.
According to Sport, the decision to close the roof during the matches, to create a warmer atmosphere, was taken by the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez. It remains to be seen whether it will opt for a gradual opening, especially during the day matches, where the temperatures are much higher than those of the evening.
