🎥 Who needs lights? Behind-the-scenes tour at LaLiga club goes viral | OneFootball

Lech Poznań is visiting Madrid today for a match in the European Cup. At first glance, this certainly sounds like a very worthwhile away trip.

The Polish club is facing Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League. With all due respect to the teams involved, that already sounds less like a glamorous European Cup evening. The condition of the dressing room at the Estadio de Vallecas is, in a way, symbolic of this. 

Because: Lech Poznań couldn't resist documenting the situation they found in the visitors' dressing room of the Spanish top-flight club in their own unique way and sharing it on social media. With a mix of irony and criticism, they provided insights into how the guests have to prepare for the Conference League clash.

The footage focuses on various details highlighting the poor condition. In the sparsely equipped physio rooms, there is no light, and due to the lack of space, tactical discussions can only take place one-on-one. 

Besides the lighting, the complaints also target basic aspects of hospitality. The Lech Poznań team pulls a bundle of broken clothes hangers, tied together with strings, out of a closet—a symbol of the poor quality of the facilities. Water, on the other hand, is provided in cartons, stacked up to the ceiling. 

In short: Lech Poznań’s video serves not only as an ironic tour of the guest facilities at the Estadio de Vallecas, but has also reignited the discussion about the need for investment in the infrastructure of the club from Madrid’s Vallecas district.
