On Tuesday, Real Madrid supporters are making sure of it. Fans are preparing a stadium-wide mosaic to welcome both teams ahead of kickoff, transforming the Bernabéu into a visual statement before a ball is even kicked. The design is expected to be more subtle than some of the club’s past displays, centered around the initials “RMCF” alongside the original crest used by the club in 1902—a nod to Real Madrid’s deep-rooted history.

While the complete visual will only be revealed on matchday, anticipation is already building for what promises to be another iconic European night in Madrid. This initiative is part of a broader effort by supporters to push the team toward a strong result in the first leg, with a place in the Champions League semi-finals at stake.
