Real Madrid’s Month-Long Bernabeu Exile for NFL Event “Weighs on Football,” Says Prominent Analyst
Madrid,Spain – real Madrid is facing a challenging month ahead,forced to play a prolonged stretch of matches away from home due to teh NFL’s use of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The disruption comes at a critical juncture for the club, following three consecutive La Liga draws and the recent loss of their league lead, sparking criticism of the scheduling decision.
Prominent Spanish football analyst Santiago Segurola voiced his concerns on RadioStadium Night (Onda Cero), arguing the impact of the stadium unavailability is being underestimated by the club.”The Madrid team won’t be able to play at home for over a month due to the NFL’s nonsense… that kind of thing weighs on football too,” Segurola stated.
The NFL’s scheduled games at the Bernabéu have necessitated a lengthy run of away fixtures for Real Madrid, a situation Segurola described with visible frustration: “The team can’t play at home as the NFL guys have to play… don’t make me laugh.”
The situation has reignited debate surrounding the priorities of Real madrid President Florentino Perez and the club’s board. While they have previously defended commercial ventures as integral to the club’s overall success,critics argue that sporting performance is being compromised. Though the board maintains that commercial success and on-field results are intertwined, the extended period away from the Bernabéu is widely seen as a significant hindrance to the team’s momentum and pursuit of silverware.
