Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid

Soon to be demolished and replaced by a hideous giant metallic Cornish pasty, Real Madrid's iconic home ground. This was also the site of the 1982 World Cup Final (Italy 3 : West Germany 1).

The south east corner viewed from a side street.

Real Madrid's stadium from Torre Europa, where I used to give classes (at KPMG). I also taught at Real Madrid here (not the players, although Gareth Bale could do with some English lessons) but to the marketing directors (Very Important People in the club's hierarchy!).

Apparently about to be demolished to make way for a 'state of the art' stadium (the plans make it look like a metal Cornish pasty!) I like this one and don't see why it needs to be demolished! Shot taken from the Torre Europa, across the Paseo de Castellana, where I used to give classes at KPMG. (For that matter, I also used to give classes at Real Madrid) .

I've missed a lot and I don't think I like it much compared to the old iconic stadium! I'll probably post one more when completed and leave it at that!
