THE NAME "BERNABEU" WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LEGENDARY STADIUMAccording to Marca's report, the Spanish giant Real Madrid will change the name of its stadium, which was registered as Santiago Bernabeu in 1955. With the change, the name "Santiago" will be removed, and only the term "Bernabeu" will remain. A SPONSOR WILL TAKE ITS PLACEIt is stated that this is for commercial reasons, and it is rumored that the purple-and-white team will acquire an advertisement in front of the Bernabeu. The Real Madrid Club is expected to make a statement on the matter shortly. WHO IS SANTIAGO BERNABEU?Santiago Bernabeu, who gave his name to Real Madrid's legendary stadium, played football for Real Madrid between 1909 and 1926. After retiring from football, Bernabeu served as an administrator and was the president of Real Madrid Club from 1943 until his death. A doctor of law and count, Bernabeu built the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, which bears his name in Madrid. He acted quickly to bring Alfredo di Stefano, one of the star players he transferred, to his team before Barcelona, who were about to sign him. He played a significant role in the creation of Real Madrid, known as the White Lightning, which became Europe's number one team and dominated the European Champions Cup by winning it five times in a row in the 1950s.
