Real Madrid have already played at home at Vicente Calderón

Enrique Cerezo, president of Atlético de Madrid, has caught more than one by surprise when he stated that he would be willing to hand over the Wanda Metropolitano to Madrid for him to dispute there what remains of the League, since the Santiago Bernabéu is currently under construction. However, what might seem a totally unusual situation, in reality it is not, because the white team already knows what it is to play in the stadium of its eternal rival.

It was in the 28th day of the 1993/94 league. That day, the merengue team welcomed Rayo Vallecano in the old Vicente Calderón. Madrid had been sanctioned with the closure of his stadium because a fan attacked a line judge by throwing an orange at him in a Copa del Rey match against Tenerife, so he was forced to play on the banks of Manzanares.

That duel against the team The fringe It was also the debut of Vicente del Bosque on the Madrid bench. And the man from Salamanca couldn't start off better, because that March 12, 1994 the merengue team defeated Rayo 5-2. A double by Prosinecki, another two goals by Hierro and another by Butragueño confirmed the white victory.

Madrid also played in the old Metropolitan

It was not in that spring of 94 when Real Madrid shared the stadium for the first time with Atlético, but rather we have to go back to 1946. That year, the merengue team decided to change the old Chamartín stadium for the new Santiago Bernabéu. The new temple would be built on a corner corner of the old one and the works left their home unfeasible for soccer, so he was forced to look for a solution. And he found it near Ciudad Universitaria, in the old Metropolitano.

Atlético Aviación, as it was known then, he readily agreed to cede his stadium to his great rival in the capital, although with one condition: its members could go for free to Real Madrid matches. Thus, the madridista team played throughout the season on the mattress feud.

Valencia, Alicante, Malaga and Seville were also “white” for a day

In addition to the occasions previously narrated, Madrid had to play at home five other times away from the Santiago Bernabéu, once in the League and four in the European Cup.

In the domestic championship, the merengue team moved, in 1982, to Rico Pérez de Alicante to beat Las Palmas 1-0 with a goal from Camacho. A rain of pads in a duel against Barcelona that ended with two expelled Madridistas led to the closure of the Bernabéu during a match.

In the maximum continental competition, Madrid played for the first time on someone else's field in the 1976/77 season. In the semifinals of the previous edition of the tournament, in which the Whites met Bayern Munich, a spectator attacked Müller and the tournament referee, which meant two closing games for the Bernabéu: against the Polish Stal Mielec (victory of Madrid 1-0 with a goal by Pirri, in Valencia) and against the Belgian Bruges (draw to zero, in Malaga).

In 1987, Madrid had to return to Mestalla to defeat Porto 2-1. The previous year, a shower of objects occurred in the white fief. UEFA sanctioned the meringues with an empty goal match (against Napoli) and the aforementioned against The Dragons.

The last duel that the whites played away from Concha Espina was in 1998. Due to the incident of the fallen goal against Borussia Dortmund, Madrid was penalized and had to play against Inter Milan at Sánchez Pizjuán, where he managed to win 2-0.
