[Saba Sports News] The highly anticipated Madrid Derby in the Champions League knockout stage is approaching, with the first leg featuring Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid. To ensure the safety of players and spectators, Madrid city council will mobilize a special cavalry unit to assist in maintaining security. Additionally, over a thousand private security personnel from both clubs will be deployed. According to UEFA regulations, at least 5% of the seats must be reserved for visiting fans, meaning there will be at least 4,000 Atletico supporters at the Bernabeu stadium. Matches between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are traditionally intense, and the rivalry between the two fan bases is complex. To guarantee the smooth and safe conduct of the match, a significant number of security personnel are needed.
