Real Madrid have won a court case about noisy concerts at their stadium. The court says the club is not responsible for sound pollution at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
The club shared the news on Wednesday morning. They said General Manager Jose Angel Sanchez and their company Real Madrid Estadio are free from all charges. The judges decided that concert promoters who rent the venue must pay for any noise problems, not the football club.
But this win does not fix everything. Real Madrid still cannot host concerts at the Bernabeu. Earlier concerts broke local noise rules. The club stopped all music shows until they can keep the sound inside the stadium.
The club has looked at ways to make the stadium quieter. Experts told them how to stop noise from leaving the ground. This work would cost around €20 to €25 million. We do not know yet if Real Madrid will pay for this work.
