Manchester City could face an intimidating atmosphere when they travel to the Santiago Bernabéu for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie with Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Pep Guardiola's side managed a 1-1 draw in Madrid when the two sides met at the semi-final stage of last year's competition, before the eventual champions won 4-0 in Manchester in the second leg.
But it seems Los Blancos are hoping to do everything they can to make home advantage count this year, with the club being given permission by UEFA to close their stadium's new retractable roof for the first time in the Champions League, which could really ramp up the noise and tension inside.
Photos taken inside the stadium on Tuesday also show that the new 360° screen looks to be up and running ahead of the evening's game.
The LaLiga leaders are unbeaten at home this season, and will be hoping to take a strong result with them to Manchester for the second leg next week.
