Real Madrid Legends v Roma Legends play on Sunday a friendly game called Corazón Classic Match at Santiago Bernabéu at 18:00, UK Time. All the money fundraised will be given to the Real Madrid Foundation for the 41 projects they are developing in 29 African countries. This will the eighth time the friendly game take place.
Los Blancos will have in their squad great legends who want to take part in this solidary project. Among them, Ronaldo Nazario, Raúl, Roberto Carlos, Luis Figo, Emilio Butragueño or Bodo Illgner. Most of the players who formed the team called ‘Los Galácticos’ will be at Santiago Bernabéu to have fun and give a hand to this great project developed by the club.
The tickets were gone on sale with prices from 5€ to 15€. Actually, the event is almost sold out and we expect a great atmosphere at Santiago Bernabéu. In previous years, we could see families and children enjoying the evening at the stadium, accomplishing a dream of watching the stars very closely.
Bruno Conti, a player who won the Spanish World Cup in 1982 at Santiago Bernabéu stadium, will be leading the AS Roma legends. In the Italian team we’ll see also other stars like Cafú, Tommasi, Delvecchio, Max Tonetto, Aldair, Scarchili and Chimenti.
This will be the eighth edition of the Classic Match. The first time that the friendly game took place was in 2010 against AC Milan. The next years, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Juventus, Inter Milán, Liverpool or Ajax were the rivals. Although the result is not important, Los Blancos have always won the game except in 2014, when they drew against Inter Milán.
With this game, Real Madrid will close the doors of Santiago Bernabéu stadium after a very successful season. They’ve celebrated two titles and the last official game was against Sevilla in La Liga. They came back to celebrate the 12th Champions League title and now they will shut the door with the friendly game ‘Corazón Classic Match’. After that, it will be time to refurbish the stadium to get ready for the next season.
