Player Valuation: £60m
Thinking of heading over to see El Derbi madrileño (1st or 2nd March) £50 for the ticket.

What's the city like? Comparable to Barcelona?
 

Far better than Barcelona. Great stadium, too. Pity they are leaving to move over to the Olympic stadium in a couple of years. If you have a couple of hours to kill before the game, visit Madrid Río. It's a park with a few open air bars in it right on the river. The stadium, as you probably know, is right on the river Manzanares, that's why it has 2 names - El Manzanares or to give the ground it's other title, El Vicente Calderón. Could still be very cold at that time of the year, so wrap up.

Go for it mate, I've watched a few games in Europe and I loved every minute. £50 is not bad for a ticket. I paid £42 for a ticket to watch Athletic Bilbao at the ticket office at the ground the day before the game, and that was their old stadium which has been knocked down now. 9pm Sunday night kick off and they turned over Atletico Madrid 3-0. Scenes.
 
Was meant to see them v Porto in the Champions League, got a Leeds fest ticket and iPhone instead. Maybe this year.
 
I've decided to go for the Milan game on the 11th as easyjet flights from John Lennon are cheaper. £38 for the match ticket. Come back on the Saturday and straight to Goodison for the game against Cardiff (y)

Estadio Olímpico de Madrid looks like it'll be one heck of a stadium though!
 
Saw a game in the Calderon (having seen a Getafe game earlier on the same day). Decent atmosphere I thought. Better than bernabeu
