@lukegerr: Real Madrid’s stadium has one of the most advanced pitches in football. But since 2023, the club has suffered 7 ACL tears — and every single one happened at the Bernabéu or their training fields built to the same specifications. Some people are starting to notice a pattern. Retractable pitches are built very differently from traditional fields. Instead of deep soil layers, they use a thinner surface on top of a solid base so the entire pitch can move. The question is: could that change how studs interact with the ground? Interestingly, Tottenham are one of the only other football clubs with a fully retractable pitch, and since installing it their injuries have skyrocketed. Could this be a coincidence, or could the retractable pitch theory be real? I'd love to hear your thoughts 🤔 #football #Soccer #realmadrid #footballnews #bernabeu
