Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has unveiled the club's stadium renovation plans. The estimated €400million (£328million) revamp will be led by German architects GMP along with international firm L-35 and Catalan firm Ribas & Ribas following an international tender process.

A new exterior will be built, and from the mock-ups shown on Friday, a retractable roof will also be included in the project which will take three years to complete.

Perez said at the unveiling of the plans: "It's time to face another challenge has come, we want to make the Santiago Bernabeu is the best stadium in the world.
