Real Madrid's legendary home stadium has been reaching new heights in attendance this season. On September 29th, the Santiago Bernabeu stadium welcomed its largest crowd to date with over 83,000 fans attending a match against Villarreal. This is a significant milestone for Real Madrid as it marks the second time in history that the stadium has seen more than 80,000 people attend a single match. The first occasion was back in 1965 when the team played a Champions League group stage match against Bayern Munich. The record-breaking attendance was achieved despite some controversy surrounding the match itself. The game had originally been scheduled to be held on October 1st but was postponed due to a waterlogging issue at the stadium. However, the match was eventually played on September 29th, and despite the weather conditions, the stadium still managed to reach capacity. The record-breaking attendance comes just days after another historic event took place in the stadium. On September 22nd, Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 4-1 to extend their lead at the top of La Liga. The win also marked the club's 1,000th victory in all competitions since their formation in 1902. Overall, the recent attendance records at the Santiago Bernabeu have been nothing short of remarkable. It is clear that the club's iconic stadium continues to be a major draw for football fans from across Spain and beyond. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how many more records the stadium can break. |
