According to Spanish news outlet Marca, Real Madrid’s stadium will now be called simply 'The Bernabeu', with 'Santiago' being dropped from the name. The change is believed to be driven by commercial interests, aligning with the modern trend of brands streamlining names and logos to suit the fast-paced media landscape.

Bernabéu signed Alfredo Di Stéfano, Gento, Santamaría, Pirri, Juanito, Kopa and Puskás, among many others, but most importantly he created a myth, a reputation and an idea of Real Madrid that struck fear into any team around the world.
