The Bernabeu will display a mosaic against Benfica with the messages "No to racism" and "Respect"

The Santiago Bernabeu will display a mosaic when the players take to the pitch in which two forceful messages will be read following what happened in the first leg between Real Madrid and Benfica: "No to racism" and "Respect". A resounding message that will go around the world and with which the club wants to make it clear that in its home there is zero tolerance for racism.

The match has been declared high-risk, as are all Champions League matches in the city of Madrid, and will be attended by 4,000 Benfica fans, in what is one of the largest away trips of rival fans this season. The stadium will be spectacularly full, with tickets sold out more than a week ago.

The match has generated great media expectation, with 31 television positions confirmed, 246 journalists accredited in the press box, 144 in the positions of commentators from the rights-holding media, 75 photographers and 14 flash zones.
