Real Madrid's Shocking Documentary Reveals the One Match That Changed Everything
Real Madrid's President Florentino Pérez has announced that the club has partnered with Apple to develop an immersive documentary enabling supporters to "feel" the Bernabéu atmosphere from inside.
This venture, scheduled for launch in 2026, is designed specifically for Apple Vision Pro, a mixed-reality device. When supporters wear the headset, they will instantly find themselves transported to a Champions League evening within the Spanish capital.
Filmed during Real Madrid's 1–0 triumph against Juventus on October 22, the documentary will provide spectators with premium access to all the pitch action, locker room moments, and players' tunnel experiences.
The objective is to position supporters "within the most successful club globally with unprecedented closeness," according to GQ. This groundbreaking venture utilized more than 30 Blackmagic cameras that recorded every corner of the Bernabéu during that Wednesday evening.
"Apple and Real Madrid are collaborating on a venture I've been developing for numerous years: enabling any supporter to feel the thrill of the Bernabéu as though they were physically present in the stadium," Pérez shared with GQ.
Real Madrid's Apple Collaboration Signals a 'New Chapter'
The collaboration between Real Madrid and Apple comes as no shock. In 2023, Apple CEO Tim Cook visited Valdebebas for a guided tour of the club's facilities and observed a training session.
Two years later, Pérez welcomed Apple's VP of Services Eddy Cue to the Bernabéu's executive suite. The pair then explored the stadium together and exchanged presents during the November international break.
According to Pérez, the alliance between Real Madrid and Apple initiates "a new chapter in the club's technological evolution," enabling Los Blancos to engage with supporters in a "more direct, instant and intimate manner."
Pérez added: "Apple represents a company that embodies the fusion of innovation, design, and excellence. For Real Madrid, finding a technology partner that shares this identical philosophy has been essential.
"The most similar experience to that will be the new virtual reality immersion we're creating with Apple. I refer to it as the Infinite Bernabéu, a space where anyone, from their residence, can witness a live match with a feeling of presence and excitement that was previously unattainable.
"It will be equivalent to opening the stadium gates to the entire world, without restrictions, without obstacles, and with technological excellence that will establish a milestone in the sports industry."
