Rubén Uría: 'There is no Wanda, it's the Metropolitano'
At 'El Club Uría' they cannot understand why some people still use that name for Atlético's stadium
Rubén Uría corrects, live on air, those who still call the Metropolitano the 'Wanda'
Prompted by a question put to Álex Baena in the mixed zone, Rubén Uría hits out at those who still call Atlético's stadium the Wanda. In his view, it comes down to either ignorance or spite. Either way, it is a monumental blunder.
After listening to Álex Baena's comments in the mixed zone, Rubén Uría makes two points. The first concerns Marc Pubill, whom he praises for the composure he showed in finishing the second goal against the Czech Republic, as if he were a lifelong striker.
The second is a rap on the knuckles for his fellow journalists. One of the questions to Baena referred to Spain's match against England 'at the Wanda', and Uría sets the record straight: "The Wanda is what Real Madrid fans call it; the stadium is called the Metropolitano, or the Riyadh Air Metropolitano if you want the full name. Journalists saying it is just embarrassingly ignorant."
