Bayern fans in Madrid: the build-up starts in the centre
Atlético Madrid v Bayern Munich kicks off at 21:00 Madrid time at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. The hours before belong to the city centre: red shirts around Puerta del Sol, songs in German and Spanish, and an Irish pub a few steps from the square to meet up before the match.

No ticket, or meeting friends who have one? At O'Connell St the match is live on our screens.
An afternoon in the centre, then the evening at Sol
Away days in Madrid tend to start in the middle of town. Puerta del Sol is where the city meets: Plaza Mayor is a short stroll away, and the streets around the square are made for wandering in a group before you settle somewhere for the evening.
On Tuesdays O'Connell St opens at 18:00. That gives you three hours before kick-off to find your crew, swap stories from the trip and get the voice warmed up, whether you're heading out to the stadium later or staying to watch here.
Three Irish pubs near Sol to meet up before the match
Big group, or friends arriving at different times? There are three Irish pubs to meet at, all in the centre:
- O'Connell St · Calle de Espoz y Mina 7
- Dubliners · Calle de Espoz y Mina 7, the same address
- O'Reilly's · 200 m from Puerta del Sol
Pick one, share the pin and the rest of the group will find you. Atleti fans are just as welcome: a Champions League night is better with both sides in the room.
Getting here
O'Connell St is at Calle de Espoz y Mina 7, just off Puerta del Sol. Sol station (Metro and Cercanías) comes out on the square. Look for the red facade with gold lettering at number 7.
