Camp Nou (Barcelona)
Story :
Barça's new stadium replaced the former Les Corts pitch which, despite having a capacity of 48,000 spectators, had become too small for the great enthusiasm the team had aroused. The architects Francesc Mitjans Miró and Josep Soteras Mauri designed the stadium, which was built between 1955 and 1957 using concrete and iron. Although initially its name was that of FC Barcelona Stadium, on a popular level it was renamed “Camp Nou”, as this stadium replaced the former Les Corts stadium. With a capacity of 99,354 people, it is currently the largest stadium in Europe.

Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid)
Story :
Plans for the Santiago Bernabéu stadium were first drawn up in the 1940s when Santiago Bernabéu and Rafael Salgado obtained a loan to buy land near the old Chamartin stadium. Indeed, the old stadium was demolished because its dimensions and comfort were not sufficient to meet the requirements of the time. The new stadium was inaugurated in 1947 under the name of “Nuevo Estadio Chamartin” and renamed in 1955 “Santiago Bernabéu” in honor of the president of the club who had ensured the construction of the site. After several transformations, UEFA gave it the status of elite stadium by granting it the best rating (5 stars).
