Only 1,800 travelling Liverpool supporters were lucky enough to receive tickets for March's Champions League clash at Real Madrid as part of a paltry allocation given to visitors in a ground that can hold up to 80,000 spectators. But as the action got underway, it was clear that not all of the Bernabeu's stands were in use.
At least two lower tier stands were made redundant from use with huge covers laid over the top of the seated areas, prompting observers to ask why the stands are still out of use. It was the same story on Tuesday, as Manchester City visited the La Liga giants.
The answer appears to be down to cutting edge technology being installed at the home of the reigning European Champions.
