Champions League stadium compared to giant AIR FRYER after special request is granted by Uefa


SHOCKED fans labelled the Bernabeu Stadium an “air fryer” and a “dehumidifier off Wish” – after a controversial Uefa decision ahead of Real Madrid’s thriller with Manchester City.

Football chiefs were accused of “absolutely ruining” the outside of the famous venue by letting Real put up a retractable roof.

The huge structure made the Bernabeu appear extremely oppressive from above – with little more than the pitch visible.

And although the two teams cooked up a Champions League classic with their 3-3 draw, fans reckon Uefa cocked up with their contentious decision.

As viewers turned up the heat on the new roof, one blasted: “Looks like an f***ing air fryer.”

Another said: “Absolutely ruined the Bernabeu on the outside.”

A third posted: “Haha. I have an air conditioning unit just like it.”

And a fourth joked: “It’s just not Real.”

But the most painful dig was surely: “When you buy a new dehumidifier off Wish”

“This game is definitely cooking,” said one fan – with one eye on the Etihad return leg next Wednesday.
