About the Person:
Taken from Wikipedia, "Santiago Bernabéu de Yeste (Spanish pronunciation: [san'tja?o ße?na'ßew '?este]; 8 June 1895 – 2 June 1978) was a Spanish footballer who played for Real Madrid as a forward, and is one of the most important men in Real Madrid's history.
He is generally considered the one to whom much of the credit can be given for transforming Real Madrid into one of the most successful football clubs in Spain and in Europe. The team's current stadium is named in his honour. He was the club's President for 35 years, from 11 September 1943 until his death in 1978."

About the Place:
Taken from Wikipedia, "The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium (Spanish: Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, [es'taðjo san'tja?o ße?na'ßew] (About this soundlisten)) is a football stadium in Madrid, Spain. With a current seating capacity of 81,044,[5] it has been the home stadium of Real Madrid since its completion in 1947. It is the second-largest stadium in Spain and third-largest home to a top-flight European club after Camp Nou and Westfalenstadion.
The Santiago Bernabéu is one of the world's most famous football venues. It has hosted the final of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League on four occasions: in 1957, 1969, 1980, 2010. The stadium also hosted the second leg of the 2018 Copa Libertadores Finals, making Santiago Bernabéu the first (and only) stadium to host the two most important premier continental cup finals (UEFA Champions League and Copa Libertadores).
The final matches for the 1964 European Nations' Cup and the 1982 FIFA World Cup, were also held at the Bernabéu, making it the first stadium in Europe to host both a UEFA Euro final and a FIFA World Cup final."
