An organized group planned to attack Real Madrid players and fans at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The plot, orchestrated by the Islamic State (ISIS), was thwarted by a joint operation involving the Spanish Civil Guard, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Europol. The authorities dismantled one of the largest propaganda centers related to ISIS, known as 'Foundation I'lam', and seized documents related to the planned attack. Nine individuals from an ISIS cell were arrested in connection with the plot. The news was revealed by the newspaper 'El Confidencial' last week.
