Real Madrid’s home ground is called ‘Santiago Bernabeu’ and here is why!
The stadium is named after former footballer and Real Madrid president Santiago Bernabeu. It is built partly on the ground of a former stadium called Chamartin and Villa Ulpina. Bernabeu and Rafael Salgado took a loan from the Mercantil e Industrial Bank to buy the land adjacent to the Chamartin Stadium, the erstwhile home of Real Madrid.
The Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, home of Spanish football club Real Madrid, is one of the finest football stadiums in the world.
The stadium has witnessed some of the greatest comebacks by Los Blancos in the history of the UEFA Champions League over the years and it remains one of the most formidable grounds to play in.
