Today, March 1, marks a year without football in the Santiago Bernabéu. Almost no one, if not anyone, could imagine that on March 1, 2020, the last meeting had taken place in Chamartín. Of course, it was a special match because that last match was the Classic.
That March 1, 2020, Real Madrid was playing LaLiga, welcoming Barcelona and those of Zidane they won 2-0 with goals from Vinicius and Mariano. Three points that left Madrid at the top of the table, since they lost the following week with a defeat against Betis in Seville in the last Real Madrid game before confinement.
The coronavirus has caused that there are no matches with the public in LaLiga and Real Madrid decided to play their matches at home in the Di Stefano and not at the Bernabéu. The reason, to accelerate the remodeling works of the white stadium. Something that has happened because except for a few days, these works have not stopped and continue at full speed.
Real Madrid continues to play in the Di Stefano and so it will continue as long as there is no public in the stadiums. And even if there is, because the white club has the idea of continuing to play their matches in Valdebebas as long as only a certain percentage of the public is allowed in the stadiums.
Real Madrid has played LaLiga and Champions at Di Stéfano while the Bernabeu continues with the works and waiting to have an audience in its stands again. Something that, for now, does not seem to be immediate.
