Santiago Bernabeu is facing issues with its pitch, but Real Madrid has not yet found a solution

Following yesterday's UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match against Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola complained about the condition of the pitch at the Santiago Bernabeu. Midfielder and English champions' representative, Rodri, also expressed dissatisfaction with the poor quality of the turf.

“The stadium looks impressive... The only thing left to do is to improve the grass”, Guardiola remarked after the match.

"When I passed the ball, it bounced unevenly. I can't say the pitch was terrible, but it wasn't ideal either. Of course, it's not an excuse", stated Rodri.

According to Relevo, Real Madrid has been aware of these issues throughout the season but has yet to find a solution. It is likely that the Madrid club will have to relay the turf after the season concludes.

The next match at the Santiago Bernabeu will be El Clasico against Barcelona, scheduled for April 21.
