Included in the price

  • The Big Matchday in Madrid

    One ticket to either a Real Madrid or Atlético de Madrid home match, with a local host guiding you through the pre-match experience — from the right bar in the right barrio to kick-off, the way locals actually do it.

  • Another match, Full Atmosphere

    A match with Getafe, Leganés, or Alcorcón — whichever fits the weekend fixture schedule — where the stands are closer, the fans are louder for the size, and your local host puts the club's story into real context.

  • The Legends Football Museum

    A guided visit to one of Madrid's dedicated football museums, focused on the history, culture, and icons of the game in the Spanish capital. Not a gift shop with a screen — an actual collection worth your time.

  • Pre-Match Experience

    Guided pre-match time at each stadium, including the right spots, local bars or areas, and the kind of build-up that makes the game feel earned before you even sit down.

  • Local Host

    Both matches include a dedicated local host — a real fan, not a tour guide — who handles the pre-match experience, knows where to go before kick-off, and makes you feel like you came with someone who lives here.

What we will do in this experience

There’s a version of Madrid football you get as a tourist, and there’s the version the locals live. This weekend is the second one.

You’ll attend one top-flight match — either Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu or Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano — with a local host who knows the stadium, the rituals, and the spots that make the pre-match feel like part of the game itself. This isn’t just getting to your seat. It’s understanding why people in Madrid treat matchday like a sacred afternoon.

But the real edge of this bundle is the second match. Getafe, Leganés, or Alcorcón — depending on the fixture calendar — gives you something the big clubs can’t replicate: closeness. You’re near the pitch, near the fans, and near the kind of raw, neighborhood football that built this city’s obsession long before the Galácticos. Your local host brings context and character to every minute.

Between the two fixtures, you’ll visit the Legends Football Museum — one of Madrid’s most underrated football spaces — where the history of the game in the capital is told through kits, footage, and objects that serious fans actually want to see.

This weekend is built for people who love the sport, not just the occasion.
