In the first round of the Champions League, Real Madrid defeated Marseille 2-1 at home. After the game, Juanma Castagno, the host of Cobe Radio, expressed confusion about the closed Bernabeu Stadium.

The new renovation of the Bernabeu Stadium has been controversial. First of all, because the stadium has no soundproofing facilities, the nearby residents' strong protests against the noise have led to the inability to hold a concert. It should be noted that those singers who sing at the Bernabeu were fined for exceeding the allowed volume.

In addition, a major innovation in the stadium is the retractable ceiling. Typically, clubs use this facility to protect players and spectators when rainfall is expected or when temperatures are low in winter.

However, the ceiling was closed again in the Champions League against Marseille this Tuesday, which immediately sparked criticism from spectators and journalists because the weather was very hot during the game.

On the radio of Cobet, host Castagno said: "Autumn is a wonderful season in Madrid. The temperature is pleasant during the day and the night is very comfortable."

"Football is an outdoor sport, and I don't understand why the ceiling of the Bernabeu has been closed. The ceiling of the Bernabeu is really great in avoiding severe winter weather, but, on a night like tonight, isn't it better to play football under natural temperatures? Is it not good to let the air circulate for a while? I don't understand why the ceiling has never been opened again. The Bernabeu stadium is like a sauna."
