Real Madrid Faces Fiery Bernabeu Welcome Before Levante Clash
17 January 2026
Pre-match reception at Bernabeu
Real Madrid stars were met by a shocking reception from fans before facing Levante Saturday in La Liga matchday 20.
Spanish show El Chiringuito posted a video of the royal bus being booed on arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Club response and league context
Madrid's management issued a sharp warning to the Grada de Animacion, famed for backing the side in Bernabeu stands.
The club ordered the group to stop whistles inside the stadium and focus on supporting the team, warning that any boos during the welcome could bring punishment.
Madrid officials told the Animacion group they would review Bernabeu cameras after the game, and any booing fan would be barred from entering.
Spanish reports said booing from outside the stadium would be tolerated, but inside Bernabeu it would not.
Madrid trails Barcelona by four points at the top of La Liga and recently exited the Copa del Rey to a lower-tier side, while losing the Spanish Super Cup final to Barca. And if the chants keep up, the Bernabeu might double as a concert venue; relax, it's only football, though the mic is getting a workout.
