FA Statement said that, “We are fully aware of the steps Spain have taken to combat racism. But our view is it’s sensible to play at a different venue on our first return to Spain. Fabio Capello is also totally supportive of this fixture”.

However England manager Fabio Capello dnied that he support FA for this matter. Capello said: “It’s a mistake by the director of communications of the English federation. I don’t know how my name has appeared in all this. Why would I not want to play in the Bernabeu? It’s my home. Everybody knows that I love Spain. I have a house in Marbella and I love Madrid, a marvellous city where I have spent two great years. I don’t decide where England play, it’s a decision of the English federation which they will have to agree with the Spanish. For me I don’t mind where we play, and of course if it is the Bernabeu, then all the better.”
