Real Madrid

If the Santiago Bernabeu is a legendary stadium, it's due in large part to Michel and Butragueño. Their plays, their goals, and their class have earned them the right to comment on the Madridista stadium on the day it celebrates its 60th anniversary.

Michel:
"My first memory of the Santiago Bernabeu was a youth team match for the Bernabeu Trophy. What really grabbed my attention was how soft the grass was. My cleats stuck in the turf. I definitely wasn't used to playing on such a surface. My first memory as a fan was when I went to a match against Derby County, which resulted in an historic turnaround. I then had the fortune of playing many games there, and I will never forget them."

Butragueño:
"A game that I will never forget? It was 12 December 1984. The return leg of the UEFA Cup against Anderlecht. We had lost 3-0 and here we won 6-1. I scored three goals that night and it was the first great night of our era. The stadium was different. The two upper tiers didn't exist. I have that night recorded in my memory, but it's to be expected since it was an important match in my career."
