President of Atlético de Madrid announces new stadium name
The president of Atlético de Madrid, Enrique Cerezo, announced that the new stadium of the team would be named Wanda Metropolitano, a name that combines the historic "colchonero" field and the Chinese consortium that sponsors them. However, the appointment caused amusement among the fans.
"Wanda Metropolitano sounds very Asian for Atleti, I would have given it a more Latin name: Wanda Namera," was one of the reactions that can be read on Twitter.

A few Rojiblancos defended the name of their new home and counterattacked by saying that Real Madrid fans had no right to make fun, as their stadium would change its name to Ipic Bernabéu.
I find it funny that Madrid fans laugh at "Wanda Metropolitano" or "Nou Camp Nou" when theirs is going to be called "Ipic Bernabéu". 😂 - Mónica ⚽ (@MonicaGri10) December 9, 2016
