  • Perfect spot to watch the action: Real Madrid Cafe.

    Real Madrid supporters are used to seeing their club collecting trophies, but Dubai’s home for watching the Spanish giants is also the place to catch your favourite Real players compete in the European Championship.

    Real Madrid Cafe, located on The Beach, JBR, is screening the tournament up until the final on July 10 as the action heats up with the last 16.

    Two of Real Madrid’s finest will be in action today as Luka Modric’s Croatia tangle with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, with the winner potentially meeting Gareth Bale’s Wales in the quarter-finals.

    On the other side of the bracket, Sergio Ramos will be a key contributor on the Spain squad looking to defeat Italy on Monday, while Tony Kroos and Germany clash with Slovakia on Sunday.

    Even if you’re not a fan of Los Blancos though, Real Madrid Cafe welcomes supporters of all nations and the atmosphere will be buzzing as the stakes continue to rise.

    The venue can accommodate up to 150 people with dinner tables and an upstairs area, or up to 175 with their stadium-style layout.
