Real Madrid will not play their remaining La Liga home games at the Santiago Bernabeu

President Florentino Perez confirmed on Monday that the 13-time European champions will instead finish the 2019-20 campaign at their training complex.

Football in Spain, as in the Bundesliga at present and both the Premier League and Italy when they return to action, will resume behind closed doors for the foreseeable future.

As such, Los Blancos' remaining home fixtures will take place at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium at Valdebebas.

In a letter to members, Perez confirmed the decision, as he spoke of the financial ramifications and continued impact of the coronavirus crisis.

Perez wrote: "We have made the decision to play in the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium in our Ciudad Real Madrid all the games in which we will play as a local team.

"This decision will allow us to advance in the works of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium."

The Bernabeu last hosted a match on March 1, when Barcelona were beaten 2-0 in the Clasico in front of am 81,000 capacity crowd.

But with fans unable to return and renovations being made to the stadium, the club have decided not to return for the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign, while games go ahead behind closed doors. 

Perez has confirmed that key work will continue on the ground, including construction of the new 'cellar', where a retractable pitch will be kept while the arena is used for other events such as concerts.

The 'Nuevo Bernabeu' had originally been due to be finished in the summer of 2022, and will boast a retractable roof and a range of new leisure spaces.

However, there are now suggestions that it could potentially be finished ahead of schedule.

The Alfredo Di Stefano stadium is a 6,000-seater venue which usually plays host to Real's Castilla (youth) team.

Los Blancos were granted permission to play their remaining home games there last week, as their title tussle with Barcelona continues.
