The historical stadium which belongs to Real Madrid might not remain as the ‘Santiago Bernabeu’, as Emirates are willing to pay a hefty amount to the club to change its name.
While Real Madrid are famous because of their history and the number of titles they have won in not only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 but the whole of Europe, their stadium, the Santiago Bernabeu, is also famous because of the reputation which they have earned.
The Santiago Bernabeu is not only famous because of the team it represents, but also because of its location and the number of events which it has hosted.
Each and every Real Madrid fan knows that the Santiago Bernabeu is Real Madrid’s home, and each and every opposing team knows that it’s a castle which is hard to break when it comes down to beating a team like Madrid within its premises.
The Spanish giants are famous because they are, without a doubt, one of the most successful sides in the history of football.
Real Madrid have won the highest number of titles in the Spanish La Liga, but the main reason why they are famous is because of the number of European titles which they have won.
The current Spanish champions have won 9 European titles in the past, and the only team which comes close to achieving this much European glory is the Italian side, AC Milan, who have won 7 European titles.
The Santiago Bernabeu opened back in the year 1947 and it was expanded in the year 2011. Since then the stadium can hold a crowd of 85,454 people.
However, the Spanish giants are planning to rename the stadium as a deal with “Emirates” is asking them to do so.
Real Madrid recently signed a shirt sponsorship with the company and it is being reported that the airline company is willing to pay 53 million Euros per season to Real Madrid, only if they change their stadium’s name to “Fly-Emirates-Bernabeu”.
The deal made by the company will see their name on the players’ shirts from the year 2013 onwards. However, for now, reports suggest that this shirt sponsorship might eventually lead up to changing the Santiago Bernabeu’s name in the future.
