As Real Madrid prepare for one of their most important UEFA Champions League nights, the Santiago Bernabeu will turn into a spectacle, designed to stir emotion and pride.
The club has worked tirelessly to create a powerful visual image for the players to get motivated.
Once the players step onto the pitch, they will be welcomed by using a beautiful show covering the whole south stand of the stadium.
At the heart of this tribute will be a large banner displaying the message: ‘The factory of dreams, make yours Real’.
Alongside the textual content, the tifo will include a hanging picture of a chessboard and a crowned king cautiously managing its peices.
The chessboard represents the complexity and strategy of the Champions League, while the pieces represent Europe’s top teams.
Real Madrid are ready to face Arsenal.
One figure, coloured in red and white, symbolises previous glory. Another, painted in Arsenal’s colours, is seen held by the king—implying the next challenge.
It is said that this grand attempt is more than just a pre-match spectacle. It displays a deeper belief within th club.
From the moment Real Madrid were defeated at the Emirates Stadium last week, the club has worked relentlessly behind the scenes.
The focal point has not just been on the tactics but also on rebuilding the morale of the players. There has been a strong push to remind them that a comeback is not only necessary but entirely possible.
Fans, too, have been equally involved in this emotional build-up. Over the past week, many club legends and their memorable moments have resurfaced throughout social media and this, interestingly, has all been a part of the club’s strategy.
