The mystery of green spots on Real Madrid jerseys: The stadium uses harmless green paint to beautify the turf seams

June 5th, "Marca" recently revealed the lawn situation at the Bernabeu Stadium.

In every game played at the Bernabeu Stadium, confusing green spots appeared on the players' jerseys. This phenomenon has attracted widespread attention from fans and the media.

In the second leg of the Champions League against Arsenal, Enderick's jersey, who had just made a substitute, was soon stained with green spots. This happened many times throughout the season, and it happened to almost all Real Madrid players. So, where do these green spots come from?

Last year, Guardiola criticized the poor turf at the Bernabeu Stadium, which prompted Real Madrid to take action to ensure the quality of the turf at the stadium. This season, the club has introduced a new turf system designed to ensure the stadium has high-quality turf.

This new system includes a complex underground lifting device for fostering turf under optimal conditions and lifting the turf to the ground through a hydraulic lifting system.

However, despite the good condition of the turf, there has been many speculations on social media that Real Madrid used green paint to cover up damaged areas on the turf to avoid unsightly when broadcasting.

In fact, Real Madrid did use a harmless green paint, but its purpose is not to cover up the turf problem, but to beautify the turf joints and make it more visually unified.

This paint will be applied before each game, and the paint display can last 4 to 5 hours. Although it has no effect on the health of the player, it does cause green spots on the player's jerseys. For example, in the 61st minute of the game against Arsenal, Enderick's jersey was quickly stained with green spots.

It is understood that the turf of the Bernabeu Stadium consists of six turf boards that are 105 meters long and 11 meters wide, so a lot of this paint is needed.

Bernabeu Stadium and Real Madrid training ground use "mixed turf", combining the advantages of natural turf and artificial turf to ensure that players can enjoy high-quality turf during training and competition.
