Is Jamez Rodriguess still in the Rael squad, i wonder.

Haven't seen the lad for a while now. Started to miss his lack of skill.

Needs some work on the grass!

Decent stadium. San Siro from the outside is so much nicer tho.

wow this looks horrible

Yeah there was a massive concert this week

Looks like I missed out. Overall Madrid is pretty nice tho, during the tour I hated seeing all of these CL trophies
I'm shocked Madrid has 1 million more people than Rome.... Downtown Rome was always crazy, and Madrid seems more calm.

Well tbf it wasn't just the concert, the hot dry weather is awful for the stadium's grass. Because of this most spanish clubs that have to deal with a similar weather to Madrid wait as long as possible to prepare the club for the upcoming season; otherwise they are just wasting a lot of money on expensive daily maintenance.

And about the city not being busy, most people are on vacation. People go to the coast to enjoy the sea, or if they are first generation Madrid families they often go to visit friends and family there. It's much more busy when it's not summertime.

Yeah that makes sense, Madrid is far away from the ocean. Seems like a nice city tho, although I've only been in the center XD
Is it supposed to be nicer than Barcelona? I hear in barca their are a bunch of gypsies, but I'm not really getting that vibe in Madrid.

b4al and catalunya are the experts here

Just what I've heard from people, I dunno if it's true

Yeah Madrid is a very nice city. Sevilla is probably the nicest in Spain though, but we're lucky to be able to say we have many nice places in Spain (not saying this because I'm spanish, but there's a reason we base our economy on all sorts of tourism).

I actually like Barcelona more than Madrid from an architectural/cultural/artistic point of view. There are lot's of cool things to watch... it's the city of Gaudí after all . About the gyspies there, tbh there aren't many... or at least I didn't notice them. I think that kind of reputation comes more from the gypsy and barbaric behaviour of some people there... there are people there who think it's ok to occupy other people's houses if they are empty, and it's cool to throw shit at the police. To them it's some kind of modern, liberal, progressive behaviour... to me it's being uncivilized, but whatever.
