Real Madrid to pay tribute to ex-president Sanz ahead of Celta game on their return to Bernabeu

The official statement:

He led our club from 1995 to 2000 and won 7 titles including the seventh and eighth European Cups.

There will be a tribute to our beloved president Lorenzo Sanz when football returns to the Santiago Bernabéu tomorrow. Prior to the clash with Celta, Real Madrid will remember the man who presided over our club from 1995 to 2000 but passed away on the 21st of March 2020. During Lorenzo Sanz's time at the helm, Real Madrid won two European Cups, La Séptima and La Octava, as well as 1 Intercontinental Cup, 1 LaLiga title, 1 Spanish Super Cup, 1 basketball league title and 1 Copa Saporta.

Remembering all those who have passed

The Santiago Bernabéu will also take a moment to remember all those who have passed away in these tough times we are experiencing, in particular the season-ticket holders and madridistas who have left us during the pandemic.
