Real Madrid widen their pitch ahead of Wolfsburg clash

Nobody at Real Madrid doubts that tonight Real Madrid are playing for their season. The game against Wolfsburg is all or nothing. If Zinedine Zidane's men don't mount a comeback they will almost certainly finish the season without winning a thing. But if they go through, the dream of the undecima -11th European Cup - lives on. 

They will do anything they can to progress. For example, changing the dimensions of the pitch at the Santiago Bernabeu. They think that a wider pitch will favour them and hurt Wolfsburg. On Tuesday workers at the stadiu changed the dimensions of play, repainting the lines and washing away the old ones. 

UEFA decide minimum and maxiumum pitch sizes but it is up to the clubs to decide how big within that scale their playing surface is.
