For years, Managing Madrid has focused on analysis, reporting, and perspective — what happens on the pitch and what it means after . But matchdays are also shaped by everything happening around the game: the fans, the media, the buildup, and the atmosphere that never quite makes it into the written word. For the first time, we decided to document that side of the experience. The video embedded below is a behind-the-scenes matchday vlog from Real Madrid vs Manchester City, filmed from the perspective of a journalist covering the game. It captures moments with fans, media interactions, and the general chaos and energy that surrounds one of the biggest fixtures in European football. This isn’t meant to replace analysis or reporting. It’s an experiment — a way to show what a matchday actually feels like from inside the stadium and media environment, rather than just describing it afterward. Learn more about your ad choices.
