Gerry Cardinale will be present tonight at the Santiago Bernabeu to watch the match against Real Madrid and to support AC Milan, a report claims.
La Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting that despite the many work commitments that the RedBird Capital founder has in the United States, he managed to find the time to fly to Europe and to watch the difficult game against Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
He is expected in the Spanish capital today, but until yesterday his arrival was still shrouded in doubt. For Theo Hernandez and his team-mates it will be an extra motivation to play under the gaze of Cardinale.
Cardinale will be with the other directors since Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada are arriving today too. The meeting in Madrid, after the daily telephone and video conference discussions, will be an opportunity to take stock of the situation on various topics.
Of course the main attraction will be the action on the field at one of the most famous stadiums in football. Cardinale will see first hand an arena that has had a huge renovation to get it up to modern standards, and he will see how the Milan team assembled competes against the best in Europe.
