Corazón Classic Match 2026
For one night, Estadio Santiago Bernabéu will once again bring together those normally seen only in football accounts of the past: legends who will take to the pitch to play the Corazón Classic Match charity game.
About this event
On 13 June, Estadio Santiago Bernabéu will once again host the Corazón Classic Match, a charity match organised by Fundación Real Madrid. The game will be held under the motto ‘A match with the soul of childhood’, and all funds raised will go to social and sporting programmes for children.
On the pitch, Real Madrid legends will face Inter Milan veterans. The format remains the same: former stars from both clubs take to the grass to relive the history of their European encounters, in which over the decades there have been everything from brilliant victories to dramatic comebacks.
The Corazón Classic Match has long become a tradition in its own right, in which players from Milan, Liverpool, Arsenal, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund have taken part alongside the Real Madrid legends. Every match of this kind becomes a meeting between different eras of football on the same pitch.
Real Madrid’s line-up is expected to include Emilio Butragueño, Roberto Carlos, Marcelo, Santiago Solari and other former club players. Javier Zanetti, Esteban Cambiasso and Francesco Toldo could take to the field for Inter.
