As well as a new pitch, the Bernabeu now has a fully retractable roof and a new terrace which has helped to upgrade the hospitality section.
The outside of the stadium has been transformed while there has been a big change to the pitch.
The Bernabeu's luscious green is now retractable with technology in place to break up the pitch into six sections.
One by one each section is moved down a level and replaced by a concrete surface, making it suitable to host concerts or other sporting events.

One said: "All new Bernabeu is looking sharp."
