Real Madrid - Arsenal at Bernabéu Will Reach a Controversial Record

Real Madrid Hosts Arsenal in the Champions League Return Leg with a Record That Madridists Don't Like

Real Madrid's next UEFA Champions League match will be against Arsenal, where they will host the English team for the return leg. The Merengues have faced a tough challenge heading into the quarterfinals, having gone through Manchester City and Atlético de Madrid. However, there is a situation that doesn't please the club's fans at all.

In the return leg between the English and Spanish teams, Madrid will break an unusual record, but not a sporting one. In this case, it will be due to the extremely high ticket prices for this prestigious match. Prices range from €125 to €450, thus surpassing all possible records.

For those who didn't think inflation could even affect the world of entertainment, here are the prices and the evidence. Something that, of course, will be a significant annoyance for many fans who will have to spend a good amount to attend this match.

Exorbitant Prices

Many have already complained at the time about the financial balances that clubs have to make to justify expenses. In this case, Real Madrid, being one of the main affected, has to raise prices to this level.

On social media, there is a more than considerable number of fans and non-Madridists who complain about the high prices. Some of them even blame Florentino Pérez entirely for wanting to take advantage of this.

However, that's what ends up causing the poor distribution of rights and other issues by UEFA and FIFA. Therefore, many clubs have had to pay these kinds of consequences with excessively high prices.

Someone Has to Do Something

Unfortunately for the clubs, this situation is practically unsustainable, and in the long run, fans will stop coming to the stadiums even more. Therefore, someone has to do something as soon as possible to prevent this situation from getting further out of control. Although, seeing how things are, probably no one will lift a finger except Real Madrid.
