Networking at Real

Access to the Palco executive box at Real Madrid’s Bernebau stadium is higly prized.  As well as watching the football, it is where Spain’s political and business elite come to network.

However, Madrid’s new left-wing mayor, Manuela Carmena, won’t be putting in an appearance.   She hasn’t been invited yet anyway, but if she was, she would turn down the invitation.   She doesn’t like the traditional closeness between Madrid’s businessmen and politicians, something which has worked to Real Madrid’s advantage.
