Allegiant Stadium could open with Real Madrid, Barcelona

May 29, 2020 by 8 News Now Leave a Comment

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The much anticipated event that might open the Allegiant Stadium could very well be a soccer match between two giant European professional soccer teams and famous rivals — Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, according to the Washington Post.

The matchup or El Clásico as it is more popularly known, is said to be in discussions with promoters pitching it as the first sporting event at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. However, according to the report, it also states other venues are being considered including SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles also scheduled to open later this summer.

As it stands, these two teams have faced each other 243 times, excluding exhibition games, and the FC Barcelona’s Lionel Messi has been the top scorer with 26 goals helping lead Barcelona to have the most wins to date.

This would not be Barcelona and Real Madrid’s first matchup in the U.S., but if the game takes place, it would be the second time these bitter rivals face each other on U.S. land.

8 News Now reached out to AEG Entertainment, but they did not return a message.
