Bernabéu Turns Ice Rink for Christmas: Real Madrid's Unusual Festive Makeover

A Christmas spectacle at the Bernabéu

A video circulated just hours ago showing an event at Real Madrid's home, the Santiago Bernabéu, sparking widespread reaction.

In the clip, the pitch is transformed into an icy playground where children play, as families gather to celebrate Christmas.

The account that posted the video on X joked that Barcelona hadn’t done this— and they don’t even have 5 euros in their vault.

The stadium project, reportedly worth over a billion euros, was designed under Florentino Pérez to lower the turf to a lower level while providing heating and lighting to protect it, with a hard surface taking its place to host celebrations and multiple events.

Yes, even Real Madrid needs a winter break.

Meanwhile, the grass files for a vacation.
