Watch Real Madrid’s amazing retractable pitch at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium

The Santiago Bernabéu stadium boasts some insane technology, with their pitch protection system one of the highlights.

The Santiago Bernabéu stadium has gone through a long process of redevelopment that is finally coming to an end. The outside shell of the ground has been covered and a roof has been popped on the top.

The ‘new’ stadium saw the first game held on match day 4 of the LaLiga 23/24 season: Real Madrid won 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Zinedine Zidane. Sorry, Jude Bellingham.

As well as this, the club have installed a new playing surface that retracts and literally folds away after every game, allowing it to be preserved underground. Take a look at the video to find out just how they do it.
