REAL Madrid said Wednesday they have won a legal battle in their dispute with a residents association complaining about “noise pollution” generated by concerts held at their Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

A Spanish judge said in January all concerts held at the stadium, including that of American superstar Taylor Swift, had exceeded noise limits and there were sufficient “indications” to consider the reported nuisances a criminal offence.

The proceedings targeted the company Real Madrid Estadio, which runs the iconic stadium, reopened in 2023 after a rebuild, as well as its administrator, Jose Angel Sanchez, the right-hand man of club president Florentino Perez.

The court “clearly and categorically concludes that neither Jose Angel Sanchez… nor Real Madrid Estadio SL bear responsibility for any criminal offence in relation to the concerts held at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium,” said Real Madrid in a statement.
