The “Relevo” network confirmed that Real Madrid players implicitly agree with Pep Guardiola in his complaint about the poor grass at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
The Manchester City coach, along with his players, expressed his dissatisfaction with the bad grass during his match with Real Madrid, which ended in a 3-3 draw in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
It seems that Guardiola is not the only one affected by the grass, but also the Real Madrid players who expressed to the management more than once how dissatisfied they were with the poor pitch.
The complaint of the Real Madrid stars is not the result of the moment, but has been going on for a long time, specifically before the 2022 World Cup, and despite the Florentino Perez administration’s promises to resolve the crisis, that has never happened until now.
The uneven length of the grass causes problems for players, especially those who run long distances, as well as often hampering ball possession and passing.
Perhaps the main reason for the poor floor of the stadium is the new roof, which obstructs the access of air and sun.
Because of this, Real Madrid is considering using moveable grass, as it will be pulled to the western side of the stadium, in a tunnel about 30 meters deep, in order to take care of it.
