Las Palmas Seeks Historic Win at Santiago Bernabéu

Las Palmas is preparing for a daunting challenge as they face Real Madrid at the iconic Santiago Bernabéu. Historically, this venue has been an impenetrable fortress for Las Palmas, with their closest attempt at victory coming in the 2016/17 season. During that match, they held a 3-1 lead before a late surge by Cristiano Ronaldo secured a 3-3 draw for Madrid.

While Las Palmas has endured a mixed start to their season, including setbacks in the Copa del Rey and their last league outing, they remain inspired by a remarkable 2-1 victory over Barcelona earlier this season. That triumph at Montjuïc has bolstered the team’s belief in their ability to compete against Spain's top clubs.

Head coach Diego Martínez expressed a mixture of respect and determination ahead of the encounter. 'Playing at Real Madrid's stadium is always an honor and a testament to our presence in top-flight Spanish football,' Martínez said. 'We know the challenge ahead, but with the right performance and perhaps a bit of luck, we can achieve something special.'

Martínez also emphasized the psychological boost of competing against elite teams like Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid. 'These are the matches that define the season and provide added motivation. Any positive result here would be a testament to our progress,' he added.

As Las Palmas steps onto the pitch at the Bernabéu, they aim to defy history and secure their first victory at this legendary venue. With their earlier triumph over Barcelona serving as inspiration, the team hopes to make headlines once again by achieving a result that would resonate across La Liga.
