A year and a half. Since this match against Celta on March 1, 2020, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Karim Benzema and company have not turned back the lawn of their stadium.
First of all because of the temporary cessation of football in Spain because of the covid, then, because the Merengues leaders decided that the first team would play its matches in Valdebebas, on the lawn of the Stade di Stefano.
Throughout the end of the 2019/2020 season and the entire 2020/2021 fiscal year, Zinedine Zidane's troops therefore played in the venue that normally hosts the matches of Castilla, team B. A decision that has made it possible to facilitate and considerably advance the renovation works of the Santiago Bernabeu. Playing at the training center was also a cheaper option than mobilizing a Bernabeu that would have been empty anyway.
And now that the public is back at the stadium in Spain, with still some limitations though, they will also be back at the Bernabeu! Sunday evening facing Celta, the prestigious stadium located in the heart of Castellana will open its doors again, a year and a half later. 22,000 spectators are expected; a fairly low figure in view of the more than 80,000 people that can accommodate the stadium, but which is explained both by the restrictive measures - 40% of the capacity - and because of the stands still under construction which prevent supporters from be able to maintain the safety distance. Because the lucky ones who will return to their favorite stadium should expect a real construction site, put on hold from Thursday until Monday morning.
